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 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 internsfor 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
