Question 4 Who would be the audience for your media product?

As my magazine is based around chart music therefore this magazine will appeal to people who like mainstream music and artists. Artists such as Beyonce and Disclosure as these acts currently featured highly the top 40 music charts, Therefore i think my magazine is will appeal to a mass market. Many of my audience will be students at Uni or sixth form. That will mean they will not have a full time job but some of them may be employed part time resulting in them having a small amount of disposable income. As my magazine is aimed at 16-20 year olds they will be very comfortable with technology. My audience will still be living at home with parents or maybe in student accommodation.

Spending time with  family and friends, going out, and getting good grades will be very important to my target audience. Clothing will also be a very important factor as they will always want to look good and stay on trend for as cheap as possible therefore they'll shop at common mainstream retail stores such as Topshop/Topman, H&M and Zara.

My primary audience is 16-20 year olds which means that they will be in group E according to the Jicnar scale as  they are students. Many of my target audience will still living at home so they have the opportunity to be financed  by their parents. This will allow my music magazine to have a secondary audience in the form of siblings, flat mates, and family members.
