Interview with Michelle Pavlova

Michelle Pavlova is the Deputy Editor of “Shout Out!”. We interviewed her to find out more about her and the magazine.

How Did you get involved?
Gurpreet (the editor) asked me in a science lesson if I can help her by commenting on the articles written by the magazine crew and I managed to edit most of the articles and she liked what I had done. Then she asked me to work with her, and I said yes!

Do you think that you play a good part in the magazine and why?
Oh yes! Because I love to criticize things and I did it in a way that helps that magazine crew to improve their work.

Do you think the magazine will be successful and why?
Yes, to all the pupils who appreciate work done by the students in the school and no, to the students who just don’t care.

Do you think magazines are more appropriate to sell to students than a different type of media source?
Yes, because it is a widely recognised source that can be easily purchased and viewed compared to other sources such as videos and radio.

What price do you think the magazine should be?
Prices should be slightly lower than a pound due to students being very tight with money. I think that they should put the prince range between 70-80p. However, the cost of production of the magazine, e.g. printing, paper, colour and labour towards creating this magazine loses its profit. But the lower price range will appeal more to students and a larger consumption will occur.

Thank-you.

You’re welcome.
