Oakland, CA (Rap Newswire) - U-ZONE Magazine publisher Curtis Jermany recently
announced a planned restructuring of the popular urban gospel industry
trade publication. In 3 years, U-ZONE Magazine has emerged as the only
trade mag offering readers inside access to emerging industry trends, legal
tips, and in-depth industry knowledge from highly sought after gospel music
execs such as Max Siegel, Lee Jerkins, Phyllis Caddell, Tia Smith and many
more.
In addition to increasing the editorial and advertising staffs with
new writers, columnists, and sales people, the restructuring will also
focus on recruiting regional correspondents to report on local trends and
events. "For the past 3 years U-ZONE has successfully informed and inspired
readers to improve their own music ministry by giving them an inside look
at artists and industry execs who are making it work," said Jermany. "We
feel that by adding a focus on regional trends to this mix it will facilitate
the spread of hot local acts and events to a national platform."
U-ZONE magazine is now seeking talented and dedicated staff for the
following positions:
-Writers for features, interviews, and music reviews
-Columnists in tune with the technical aspects of the music industry,
such as producer tools and gadgets
-Regional correspondents to report on local trends and events
-Commissioned based sales staff for ad sales and marketing packages
-S.F. & Houston Area Based interns for all areas of magazine production
and distribution
-Street Team Reps in Houston TX & San Francisco Bay Areas
The first issue after the restructuring will be released in January
2009 in time for both the Stellar Awards and the Holy Hip Hop Awards. This
high profile issue is slated for a double cover and will be the official
magazine of the Holy Hip Hop Awards.
AD & EDITORIAL DEADLINE: December 5, 2008
