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.
