TRANSCRIPT

You have been commissioned by the Northern Echo to produce new magazine or newspaper product. Your product could be in any style or genre but it must be self financed though sales or advertising. You must also produce your magazine for a specified audience segment within the 16-25 age group.

Voyage… I have created a magazine which hybridizes two genres; Travel and Culture. My magazine is constructed around students, their lifestyles and their interests. The magazine is self financed through the use of advertisements. Targeted a young audience, specifically 16-24 year olds

Product  Objectives  

The image cannot be displayed. Your computer may not have enough memory to open the image, or the image may have been corrupted. Restart your computer, and then open the file again. If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again.

I chose to create a travel and culture magazine as this is something I felt the current market was lacking. There is a gap in the market for a product that amalgamates the two genres. I have lived in many different places both inside and outside of the UK, travelling is something that has been part of my life since I was young.

COMPETITION    

USP  

When conducting my market research I found there were a few gaps in the market •  A travel magazine for young people •  A magazine which combined both travel and

culture.

-  Part of the Aspirant tribe

-  BC1C2 socioeconomic status

-  Educational status – College or university students - Willing spend the money on things they want in order to live the lifestyle they want to live.

My secondary audience includes Males Older readers: including parents and grandparents In order to keep my secondary audience satisfied I will •  Include content that caters to their interests •  Avoid taboo language •  No inappropriate content

How  will  I  appeal  •  Include article content which is appropriate

for students •  Use young models •  Include content that would appeal to both

sexes •  Use unique, eye-catching design and layout •  Create conversational tones throughout my

articles

•  Accuracy •  Privacy •  Harassment •  Discrimination
