4. A Bauer Media Group
Magazine
It is clear straight away that this
publication is aimed at people who can
translate German as the text is
displayed in German.
From what I can translate, the main
feature for this Cosmopolitan
magazine is Jennifer Aniston. This is
clear as she is on the front cover,
therefore making her the main body of
the magazine.
Thus, the target audience for this
magazine is someone who is going
through a “single-dilemma” and are in
need of some womanly advice; or
someone who is a little less
conservative and enjoys reading the
escapades of someone's former sex
fantasies; or simply what the power of
beauty can achieve.

5. BBC Worldwide
• BBC Worldwide is the main commercial
arm and a wholly owned subsidiary of the
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
• Formed out of a restructuring of its
predecessor BBC Enterprises in 1995
• The business exists to support the BBC
public service mission and to maximise
profits on its behalf.
• The company monetises BBC brands,
selling BBC and other British programming

supplementing the income received by
the BBC through the licence fee.
