WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR MY MEDIA PRODUCT?

My magazine is aimed at a niche audience of 18 – 21 year olds who are interested in

finding out about unsigned talent and upcoming artists. This niche audience is stereotypically students, as they are the

age range who are more likely to be interested in different things, as university is seen as a time for new changes in life.

The audience for my music magazine are typically between 18 and 21 years old so they are more

likely be employed than a younger audience. This means that they will be more likely to buy music

magazines, although if they do, they are not willing to spend much over £2. My audience love to go to gigs and festivals of mainly Indie and Pop music, which is why I have included lots of articles

about live shows, and made the issue a festival issue, as they also prefer the content of the

magazine to the cover model.

• The representation of my audience are that they are skint, willing to go out and party and will be eager to try new things, as most of them will be students at university at this age. I think my magazine appeals to them because it looks fun and happy and contains interesting articles about the latest upcoming bands. They will read my magazine because then can impress their friends with the knowledge of all the unsigned talent they will discover in my magazine.• The connotations of my magazine – an attractive cover model will appeal to the same sex as well as the opposite sex, use of the colours red and blue which are bright and recognisable – are all things that a stereotypical reader will find appealing.
