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

All media products should always most likely have an audience in mind which will then have an impact on all the decisions made about content and design. Media products use demographics and VALs to determine who their audience is and to understand as much as they can about them.

As part of my planning I produced a readership profile similar to the NME profile to understand more about my target audience and develop it to my coursework.

I have chosen this audience because I have made my magazine fairly similar to NME. So the audience is more aimed towards teenagers and younger adults because the content is made most suitable for them. I believe my magazine can be aimed at both male and females however a little more towards females because of the content of gossip. My music theme is probably based more on R&B, pop and rap. These are all very diverse and popular genres of music with wide audiences so I have kept my audience gender quite open.
