Evaluation Question 4

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

I have chosen to present my product to both male and females around the age of 16-30, I chose this because after conducting a questionnaire to that age group this was the age range that seemed to be most interested in music magazines. I asked what styles of music people of that age range preferred to listen too and I got quite a variety of responses. It then became apparent that people nowadays don’t listen to just one style of music they like anything that is new and fresh. However most music magazines focus on certain genres and popular well-known bands. My magazine needs to set apart from these so I have used a variety of styles. Because of this it has resulted in me being able to represent my target audience, which is everyone of that age group.

My magazine is £3.50, which is quite normal, compared to other monthly music magazines such as Q, which is £3.90, metal Hammer is £3.99 and NME, which is a weekly magazine, is £2.20. The responses that I got back from my questionnaire of those that don’t read magazines were mainly because they are too expensive. I have taken this into consideration. My target audience are most likely going to be students or new and low down in the work force. Because of this I made my music magazine to a monthly subscription, and have made sure that I link a good easy to use website that is updated regularly for my target audience to use as well as buying my magazine. That way they can keep up to date on new music and gigs etc as well as be able to afford my magazine.
