Who would be the audience for your media product?


I see my magazine being brought by people aged 15-20 but most of them are expected to be male because according to the media, ‘only men listen to rock music’. The stereotypical teenager is seen as a drug taking, smoking young youth who like to cause trouble. My magazine challenges that stereotype but doesn't avoid the other ones that are pushed upon teenagers, for example, I have backed up the ones that say; they listen to music, watch movies, are deep in technology and go to gigs. But I don’t see these having any negative impact on the audience so I have chosen to highlight them and present them to my target audience. I see my typical teenage reader being male and being a 'skater', the media believe that these types of teenagers would by a rock magazine such at mine. To the left is an example of the type of person that would be expected to buy my magazine.

As well as the things that are featured in my magazine I would also have advertising that would appeal to my target audience. The main advertisements would, of course, be music based but it would also include a lot of new technology, this would include; Beats by Dr. Dre (headphones), IPod's  Guitar Hero, New phones, things that a typical teenager would be interested in. But it would also include other products such as food, skateboards and clothes as well s a few television adverts, because all teenagers do is listen to music and watch TV.My magazine is quite modern, so it essential that it keeps up to date with everything that
is selling big in the music market. Because of the genre of music it would be expected to have gig dates and posters within it, this may attract a wider range buyers.
