The music business in the past has been dominated by major labels, with an independent fringe.
Indie labels are currently finding success in the industry environment.
There are compelling reason for major labels and independent labels to cooperate.
For this reason, it can be difficult to differentiate between major and independent labels e.g. Sub pop

Concept &Treatment
I plan to write an extended article on the Trials at Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany at which 21 elite Nazi officers were condemned to execution or lifetime prison sentences for war crimes committed under Adolf Hitler’s Chancellorship. I will also explore this trial and judgement to contemporary events (acts committed by those such as Gadafi in Libya and American Presidents) that are considered to be war crimes and the condemnation people involved may or may not have faced.
The purpose of this article is to discuss the relevancy of human nature to judge and punish those considered criminals, whether the judgement is conditional, that acts of punishment are driven by fear and hatred rather than a supposed ‘justice’ and to inform the audience of an important historical event in relation to contemporary events.
My initial intention for the target audience are cashmere students and parents, especially those who study history and are interested in human nature. However, I plan to locate a more a scholarly journal online for publication if this is not an option.
Conventions I plan to use are interviews, facts and figures, primary and secondary source information and illustrations.
I will arrange an interview with a professional such as a Cashmere High history teacher or a Canterbury University professor to gain a valuable opinion on the topic of focus, establishing a link between the article and the audience with its local and professional value.
The inclusion of quotes, facts, figures and information from primary sources, such as the official documentation at the trials, and secondary sources, documentaries, books and articles on Nuremberg Trials for example. This contributes a factual solidity and a sense of truth to the article as well as a wide coverage of the topic.
Illustrations of the trials and aspects surrounding it will be included in the layout, giving a visual aspect to the article for readers to understand the topic on another level.
I aim to create an informative and thought-provoking tone, discussing information and creating ideas about it. The layout will be basic, containing illustrations, rule of thirds and an effective design that suits the topic.
Justification
The topic and purpose hold relevancy in that they will refer to contemporary events in relation to a historical event that is a microcosm of the human condition. It is educational, which to a school audience is always relevant. They will be able to relate the historical event to events currently occurring and be provoked to think about human nature.
It is an informative, thought-provoking topic which suits well the type of educational, school-based publication of the Cashmere Circuit, which aims to inform and entertain. The target audience includes a variety of students with many interests in both history (there are many history students at cashmere) and what is currently going worldwide. An interview with a history teacher from cashmere high also creates a strong link between the article and the Cashmere Circuit audience, as they have a direct, everyday relationship with such teachers.
Upon finding images relevant to the trials I may encounter copyright issues when looking on the internet. In order solve this problem I will have to find images that are not copyright and/or scan images from relevant books.
Also I need to ensure an interview with a professional by making a time and date, and designing useful questions for them to answer in the interview to avoid problems in communication etc.
The concept I have chosen allows for a thorough amount of research, comparisons between past and present important events concerning humanity and the use of interviews, images and facts. I will also spend a suitable amount of time drafting and rewriting the article, as well as editing the interviews to fit well into the main article. I will use professional software such as indesign and photoshop, as well as reliable hardware such as a scanner and sound recorder for the interview. Going through these processes I believe I will create a polished and integrated media product.
The article will be reader-friendly and designed in an accessible way, such as previous articles in the Cashmere Circuit. I will use images in order for the reader to have a visual understanding, facts and figures to represent the reality behind what I write, interviews to create an interpersonal and professional link to the article and the use of professional software to create a reliable article, following the style sheet of the Cashmere Circuit.
