Who would be the audience for your media product?
The targeted audience for my music magazine would be teenagers to young adults, both male and female age ranging from 25 and below. I decided to have this age range because of my audience feedback. Although the majority of people asked were 17, I felt that I should expand the age range to 25 as this will allow a wider range to see my magazine. The reason why it would not attract a younger generation for example 10 and under is because it contains no features in which they would be drawn to for example, free toys, also it contains no features in which they demand for or require.There is a big difference between a childrens magazine and an young adult magazine. For example you can see with the music magazine the colours are not as bright as that of childrens magazine. There is so many colours on the childrens magazine, this which is my product would not be aimed at a younger generation, as some of the contents inside it, they would not understand. My music magazine would not appeal to them. I know definite that people age range 16-25 would definitely purchase my magazine; this will assure to me constant sales as my audience will continuously keep buying it.

In terms of ethnicity, my magazine could appeal to all races for example, Black, Caucasian, Asian etc. However when I take into consideration the genre of music my magazine does, I would say that it moves more towards the young Black youths of today as the genre is of a black origin, so they would possibly prefer and associate themselves with this hip-hop and RnB genre. From m audience research it showed that the hiphop genre was what they were most interested in.

Nevertheless there is not a specific ethnic group that the magazine is aimed at.I would like my magazine to commence a relationship with the reader, this will make the audience/reader feel more comfortable when reading my magazine, as they could possibly connect with the artist and relate to their stories/interviews. I know that many young people will want to read a magazine which centres on them and includes an artist of a similar age range.
Furthermore my intended audience has to be able to afford my magazine, which will be £1.50 a month which is fairly cheap. If the price was higher my targeted audience might not be able to afford my magazine which would be a fail in my production as my targeted audience would not be able to get my magazine, which would result in me not getting any profit.
