Evaluation Question 4

Who would be the audience for your media product?

There are many different groups of people that are my audience for my media product. My main age group that I am targeting is 16-24 the reason for this is because the type of music magazine and genre I have based my media product on would be more popular for the younger generation. I also made my target audience 16-24 as the majority of my peers and fellow friends are between this age, which meant that when i carried out my audience research i would gather a sufficient and useful amount of information. Because I have limited my target audience it means that those who are over my target age and have an interest in different genre of music may not choose to read my magazine.

My media magazine is targeting females and males, but there are more topics for women within the magazine. The reason for this is because reseach has found that women are more likely to purchase a magazine than men, so i therfore felt that i should include more women topics within the magazine, but also including men's topics of interests

I am directly targeting readers that are into Hip Hop and R&B as this is what my magazines theme is based on. It will attract audiences that enjoy reading about new upcoming artists and the latest gossip out. It is also targeting audiences that just simply enjoy reading or have a interest in music on a whole.

Before I even started creating my media product I done some audience research in order to find out what the audience do like, and from this information I gained an insight into what I should include in my magazine in order to target 16-24 year olds. E.g. The audience would prefer to see a large image and a bit of information on a front cover, so I took this into consideration and used this idea, this helped me because this is what my audience want to see. The audience also said that inside my media product they would like to see such things as latest gossip, pictures and information on the latest going ons within the music industry.
