Leading Urban
Gospel Industry Trade Publication U-ZONE Magazine
Announces Restructuring
Seeking New Writers, Columnists, and Sales Force
(Oakland, CA) 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 total 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 2010 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.
