4. My target audience for my music magazine would include those who are dedicated fans
of the pop genre. I have concluded that this is a genre which mostly entices the young
female population, stereotypically due to the connotations of ‘fangirls’ for the male artists
of pop. The age range that it would be vastly secluded too would be 12-16 year olds, I
feel as if this is an appropriate sample and the girls within this age range would be the
type that enjoy buying and reading a magazine monthly and would happily buy one with
pocket money. I took this into consideration when deciding the price of my product,
making it cheap enough for the young readers to buy themselves and feel as if it is worth
the money they paid, therefore the content I included would appeal to them and include
information and articles they would opt to read and enjoy. I anticipated that they would
also be the readers of current existing music magazines such as, We Love Pop, Top of
the Pops and Shout therefore I must comply with this competition in mind. They would
also additionally have interests like dancing, shopping, make up, twitter, hair and beauty
and specifically boybands who are within the pop genre. During there spare time they
would typically be dancing, on social media and listening to music. They would also be
the type to go to concerts regularly when their favourite artist goes on tour. The social
media they may use is twitter, facebook and Youtube, these are methods of keeping up to
date with celeb gossip and latest music realeases including the video, they may also
have a fan account for their favourite pop artist.
