Q4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

Who would be the audience for your media product?

 The target audience for my magazine would mainly be black British teenagers from the age of 16-23 years old. As the younger generation would be interested in the interviews, reviews and also the competitions. Ethnically the magazine will be targeted to the specific race, being the black ethnicity. There are two main genres that the magazine promotes, which is Rnb and Hip-hop. Both target the Black ethnicities because stereotypically most artists in these genres are black and this would attract other black audiences. The magazine also targets both male and females; moreover it targets all religions because music is meant for everyone to listen to.

The audience it targets is also in to rnb and hip-hop. The magazine targets people that are enthusiastic about music because of the detail in music the magazine holds. The target audience of the music magazine also has to have a social life for example people that got to concerts and people that social network. This would mean that the audience would have knowledge about different music genres, the latest song and it would mean that they are also into the latest, popular technologies. Such as IPods, Iphones, Blackberries and Dre beats headphones. The teenagers the magazine would target would also be in to TV and watch music videos. Moreover they would be in to game consoles such as Play station 3, Xbox and Nintendo Wii. They must also have an interest in music games such as `Michael Jackson Experience’.

If my target audience enjoys going to concerts or nightclubs, then the free concert ticket in my music magazine would appeal to them to great extent. In addition the magazine would target working class people so the price of the magazine would be an advantage to them.

The target audience would also either be in full time education or have a part time job, which means these people would have a social life and have similar interests.
