2. Mass or Niche: Niche
I do feel that my work is aimed at more of a niche audience because
of the sensitive topic that I am talking about. I wouldn’t say that it is
a really small group of people but it isn’t large enough to be classed
as mass.
Not a lot people will be looking for information or opinions about the
disorder therefor not many people would really look to read it.
Although it would be a very niche audience I do feel that it could
appeal to more in certain ways because people may want to learn
about the condition in a way that doesn’t just give them facts and
figures.
Because my magazine is aimed at London that also makes it quite
niche because it doesn’t appeal to the entire country.
3. Age:
I would that say the article would appeal to more middle aged groups
mainly due to the topic that the article is based around, this is
because it is more sensitive and is based around a very specific topic.
I would say though that the entire magazine doesn’t really have a
specific age range because I think that it could appeal to any age from
teen to elderly because it is a regional magazine.
But I would that the look of the magazine and the stories inside would
probably relate to the older generations.
4. Gender:
I really wouldn’t say that either the article itself or the magazine as a
whole would appeal to a specific gender. Due to the magazine having
stories that are well known and open for anyone it would be hard to
place a specific gender on the magazine.
I wouldn’t say that the topic of the article would have a specific
gender because it is all based on upon what people want to read.
5. Location:
Again just like with gender I wouldn’t say that neither the article or
the magazine as a whole would have a specific location, it is more of
a case of interest in the stories that are inside.
Obviously due to it being a regional magazine it makes sense for
people that live in London or surrounding area to read it as it has
details that will relate to them. So I would say London would probably
be the main location it would be based in and the surrounding area.
