How my magazine represents social groups


My magazine appeals more to people who like R'n'B music and 'Indie' music. Even though they are two very different genres of music, I have chosen both of them so that my magazine can appeal to more than one type of social group. When I did the questionnaire the type of people the results came to were people who like going on social networking sites, like going to parties, and people who like listening to music in general, so listening on their Ipods, or on radios. I also found out that they watch talent shows such as 'X Factor' and 'Britain's Got Talent', this shows their keen interest for music, and entertainment! The results found out where they like to shop, how much they would buy the magazine for, people they like listening to and also whether they take an interest in going to festivals or not. Another important detail found out was what radio stations they listen too. This is useful because then I would know what music they're into.



This resulted in being one of the most popular listened to radio stations. - Capital FM











Most participants enjoyed watching The X Factor.











In some parts of my magazine there are typical stereotypes, such as for the genre of music, for example the artists who are mentioned e.g. Beyonce. Also there are stereotypes for music magazines in general, such as the interview, and adverts for festivals and gigs.

However there are differences to other music magazines in mine as it isn't just about one particular genre of music, and it also mentions films, TV programmes and shops which relate to the target audience.
