Making My Product Regional

Given the fact that my product will be a fanzine about Sunderland, my magazine's genre is instantly regional. However there are certain aspects which I will need to include within the product to follow this regional trend.

The content of my fanzine will be very much centered around local activities, such as; events and gigs. I will also mention certain locations across the city of Sunderland, such as Holmeside, The Bridges and others. For my article, I plan to do an interview. This interview will be with somebody who actually is from Sunderland, therefore this person will have a good knowledge of the region, therefore making the magazine relatable to the regional readers.














There will also be lots of content within the magazine regarding the football club Sunderland AFC. This will include arrangements for away matches; I.E a bus service and a list of pubs near the away grounds. There will also be lots of discussion about the club itself. This will include discussion of matches, transfers and generally the club itself.

There will be lots of regional dialect within my fanzine. This again allows the reader to relate to the magazine as it is as if the product is talking to them in their regional dialect. This may entail using words such as 'canny', 'whayaye', 'ha'way' and more. For effect I will also use some words in their accents. Once again, this will create the relatable effect for the reader and will give the magazine a light hearted and almost comedic feel.
