This document discusses creating a double page spread for a TV guide magazine to promote a documentary. It considers the TV guide "What's On TV" as a potential outlet. Key points made include: - "What's On TV" has a large readership, focuses on reality TV and soaps like the planned documentary, and aims at a working class demographic that may watch the show. - The magazine does not pander to any one network but gives equal coverage to BBC, Channel 4, and ITV. - Mothers who read the magazine may take interest and spread information to their teenage children, increasing publicity for the show.

1. Ancillary Task
Double Page Spread
Victoria Brocklesby

2. TV Guide
• For my Ancillary text I have decided to create a TV Guide double page spread for
my documentary ‘Teens Vs. Media.’
• I would expect it to be a well anticipated documentary based on the assumption
that a variety of ages can observe teenage life as part of cultural transmission and
entertainment (Katz and Blumlers Uses and gratification theory 1973) as well as
teenagers being able to find personal identity within the documentary due to being
a similar age and going through similar problems to those in my documentary.
This would provide me with a broad demographic which means that I expect a lot
of speculation around the show due to its foreboding popularity.
• Adults/ Parents are the main readers of TV guides and so although my primary
documentary demographic is teenagers, I intend to aim my TV Guide at adults
because it is more likely that they will be an active part of the Reception Theory
(Stuart Hall 1980)as they would actually read the magazine along with the point
that adults are the most dominant in a household and stereotypically get control of
what is on TV, so aiming my article at them would be more suitable and also allow
my primary teenage audience if they either watch television with their parents or
hear about the show from their parents. The adults readers would then be opinion
leaders as part of the two-step flow theory (Paul Lazarsfeld and Elihu Katz 1955),
which would be beneficial in supplementing my documentary with the wide
audience I expected.

3. ‘What’s on TV’
• ‘What’s on TV’ is a TV guide sold in the UK which is 52p each issue. It contains selections of the best
shows of the upcoming week to come and also contains a TV Listing column as well as interviews
with the actors of the shows. It is the 6th
best selling TV magazine in the UK, selling 1,083,198 over 6
months in 2013. It is published by a large well known distributor (IPC Media) which sells the worth of
350 million copies of magazines each year. Being a well know distributer, oligopoly and being
popular, the magazine has a strong foundation and relationship with the public. This could mean the
audience has trust in the magazine and if it is printed that my new documentary will be good, the
audience would believe this and therefore watch.
• With this amount of viewers, if I were to advertise my own documentary through ‘What’s on TV’ I
would hopefully have a wide range of people who would be more likely to take an interest in my
documentary; particularly if it had a double page spread and was a ‘Pick of the day’, which is what I
am expecting from my documentary due to ‘Educating Yorkshire’ being in this popular position many
times before. Being in the cheaper price range, more people would be able to afford the magazine
and therefore be more aware of my documentary which would result in higher ratings. Furthermore,
my documentary is based around a working class secondary school, and, taking class into account, if
this is the class I expect to predominantly watch my documentary then a more affordable magazine
will give me the medium to communicate this.
• Despite ‘What’s on TV’ being linked with ‘Immediate Media’ which is originated from the BBC ‘What’s
on TV’ does not pander to a hegemony, which could mean that a varied amount of people with
different interests could read about my documentary. Their interest may then be garnered, and they
will watch and boost my viewing figures, which would consolidate the documentary’s popularity,
justifying why it was given a double page spread.
• The magazine focuses on Reality television and soaps; my documentary would subsequently fit into
the bracket of reality and so be suitable for the magazine’s content. Readers of the magazines would
presumably be aware of the content of the magazine and so be expecting to read/ want to watch
reality shows so I would be aiming at an audience who would actually watch the documentary.

4. What’s on TV demographic
• Although What’s on TV does not have a specific demographic, I would assume that the primary
buyers of the magazine are middle aged women/housewives because this is stereotypically the
people who watch soaps and day time television, which is what the magazine has a large
concentration on. Taking this into consideration, What’s on TV may be an applicable magazine
for my article because if the women have teenage children, they can pass on the information
swell as possibly being interested themselves as part of surveillance (Katz and Blumler’s 1973)
and Cultural Transmission (Val Masterman 1994)

5. ‘What’s on TV’ magazine
This type of TV magazine often do not contain double page spreads but instead small segments of information regarding a
show on a variation of television institutes. It uses no form of hegemony with equal distribution of BBC stations, Channel 4
and ITV. The programming most commonly aired is real life/ observational television (much like that of my own
documentary) and construed television such as soaps like Coronation Street often given more spacious room for discussion.
Brief introduction to
who Stephen Hawking
is.
What the documentary is
about – who it is going to
include (celebrity name
dropping)
More of a
description of
Stephen Hawking.
Quotes from Stephen Hawking about
his condition and how love saved him –
the key quote.
Personal life
(marriage and
children) and risk of
life
How he managed to
overcome this.
Close-up shot of Stephen Hawking to
possibly reflect that the documentary
revolves around him. The background is, or
so I assume, in space because of the Big
Bang Theory which Hawking helped create.
It is relevant to the article and Stephen.
Informative language. Serious
tone, possibly reflecting the
tone of the programme.
Slight use of humour possibly to reflect
Hawking’s personality and attract an
audience through humour.
Colour contrast – more
emphasis on buzzwords
to hook attention.

6. ‘What’s on TV magazine’ – Stephen Hawking
•The TV magazine seems to follow Todorov’s (1975) Narrative theory Equilibrium of introducing
Stephen Hawking, talking about his struggles, and then how he overcame this. This is what the show is
supposedly structured around, so it has created anchorage between the text and show as well as
making the content of the article easier to follow by readers.
•It follows what the show will concentrate on and, I believe, gives a way a great deal of the shows
content. I would make my article more vague to garner more interest from the public.
•I do, however, like the use of the pictures centring around Hawking’s life as it is image text cohesion. I
would use this in my own text and use my 4 main participants in the picture so the audience are more
familiar with them and if they watch the documentary recognise them better as part of the
Receptionist Theory (Stuart Hall 1980).
•The institution the show is meant to air on is Channel 4, which is also what I expect for my
documentary. The tone and style used is formalised and informative, which is beneficial in the sense
that the audience will know what they are watching and what they will receive from the show if they
watch. However, my documentary contains unintentional humour and the narrator in my
documentary is colloquial, therefore I believe it would be more appropriate to also be colloquial on my
double page spread for higher anchorage and so the audience get a sense of what tone documentary
they would be watching.
•I believe the variation of colours used on the Stephen Hawking article may make my documentary
look ‘cheap’ and childish. Although my documentary is not at the high end of sophistication as it is
based around a local secondary school, I still believe that it would have a higher status and have more
hype revolved around it than to be a ‘filler documentary’.

7. Radio Times
• Radio Times is a weekly magazine that is based in Britain. It concentrates on what will be
on TV and Radio in the upcoming week. It is the 7th
highest selling TV magazine in Britain
and its last circulation figure was 812,543 for January-June 2013.
• It also concentrates on the medium of the radio, so I suspect that it has a more diverse
audience interested in both radio and television.
• It was founded by BBC Magazines and because of this I assume that it panders to a
hegemony institution. After purchasing the issue, I found that its main concentration was
on BBC based shows, which could possibly support my belief.
• In 2011 the magazine was merged to ‘Immediate Media Company’, which ‘Magicalia’ is
part of and who specialises in Parenting and Active markets, so I believe that Radio Times
is more likely to be aimed at an adult demographic, which is what I would have to aim my
double page spread at because if the audience is primarily adults, I would want them to be
interested in my article. Also adults are usually the people who regulate what can be
watched at home, so if my article appealed to them, they may find the documentary looks
interesting and therefore decide to watch it with their families and recommend it, therefore
becoming an active member of the text and an active opinion leader as part of the Two
Step Flow Theory (Paul Lazarsfeld and Elihu Katz 1955)
Victoria Brocklesby
Doctor Who is usually
the cover of Radio
Times, which I think
reflects hegemony to the
BBC. However, it could
just concentrate on the
most popular
programmes (Doctor
Who being popular) as
most TV magazines do.

8. Figures
• The Christmas issue of the Radio Times is notoriously the best selling issue of the year, and it even has
adverts airing on prime time television advertising its release. Taking this into account, I would want to
publish my double page spread in the Christmas Issue of Radio Times for a better chance of more readers
resulting in higher ratings. However, my documentary is not based around festivities, which could mean that
the people who read my about my documentary would be misled, nor the article fitting.
• Due to my documentary being a series and based around school, it would be more appropriate for my article
to be in a September issue because this is when school starts (basis of my documentary) and teenagers
may watch it as they find the school equilibrium follows their own daily life, so they are almost on the same
school journey as those in the documentary.
• The number of magazines sold in September 2011 were 2,280,000, and as you can see by the graph, earlier
months in the year had considerably higher figures and the fluctuation of the magazine gradually decreases.
Despite this, September still includes a substantially
higher amount of magazine sales than most months.
If I were to publish my article in a September issue,
this is when many television programmes become
dormant after the summer, for example ‘Britain's Got
Talent’. Due to avoiding this, I would expect higher
viewing figures for my documentary as the public
would want something to watch. Despite the X-
Factor airing at this time of year, this show is purely
based around Saturdays and Sundays, and I would
expect my documentary to be aired on Thursday
(like Educating Yorkshire) as this is a school night
and thus suitable for teenagers to watch and relate
their day with. I would also expect a 9:00o clock
viewing time because these are often the shows with
the highest viewing figures since it is ‘prime-time’
television.

9. Radio Times Demographic
http://www.mediauk.com/magazines
/36222/radio-times/readership-
figures
Radio Times has a predominantly adult readership, which matches its key demographic based on my observations of the content. In
June of 2012, Radio Times was read by 2,222,000 adults and 4.4% of the adult population. Taking this into account, although my
documentary revolves around teenagers and therefore I expect teenagers to be the core viewing demographic, I would have to aim
my double age spread at adults, more specifically parents, in the hopes that they will be active opinion leaders (Stuart Hall 1980) to
their teenage children (daughters) who will then pass this information to their friends and hopefully use the medium of social
networking sites as part of Web 2.0 (1999 Darcy DiNucci.)
In terms of gender, I discovered that the most common reader of the Radio Times are females. The largest number of female
readers come from the 35 and over margin, who read 1,668,000 (75.1% of the total sales). This is beneficial to my own documentary
because as my documentary’s main concentration is make-up and teenage girls, I would thus expect females to take higher interest
in reading about a reality programme around this, as well as the stereotype that women are interested in reality television, making
my documentary more appealing to this demographic.
As for the class of people who read the Radio Times, 539,000 are from the 3 lower classes of the economy (C2DE) and
1,683,000 are from those in a higher class. My documentary is set in a working class school, which will hopefully be
reflected to my audience through their behaviour, so the Radio Times having a large higher class selling figure may not be
beneficial to me. This means I will more dependently rely on forms of the Two Step Flow theory (Paul Lazarsfeld and Elihu Katz
1955) and Web 2.0 to (1999 Darcy DiNucci) advertise my documentary to C2DE people and also hope my prediction of
those of a higher class wanting to watch my documentary for cultural transmission into a working class school.

10. What’s on TV Vs. Radio Times
Radio Times What’s on TV
The usage of double page spreads is more fitting because I expect my documentary
to be a popular reality programme, therefore the hype around it should be
subsequent and reflect this. It could also portray the trust that the programme will
be a success from the magazine.
Higher selling figures could lead to higher viewing figures; this
is the 6th
most popular magazine in Britain, beating the Radio
Times.
Radio Times is the 7th most popular magazine in Britain with a positive reputation.
The audience would be more likely to believe this and so watch the programme.
Despite ‘What’s on TV’ having higher selling figures, ‘The Radio Times’ has more of a
reputation, it being founded in 1923 and audiences may find it a more trustworthy
and quality magazine because of this.
Predominantly working class people purchase this magazine,
and my documentary is set n a working class school so this
would be relevant.
It only has a brief overview of the programmes, but gives
away a lot of the content. This can either be a positive or a
negative because people may want to know more before
watching the documentary or people may want to know less
to avoid ‘spoiling’ the documentary.
The range of ages and classes who read this magazine would
result in a variation of people who view my documentary and
can receive a certain gratification from this.
Given the key circulation of this magazine comes from middle
aged women, and women are what this show revolves
around. Having my double page spread in the Radio Times
would result in having a suitable audience who would
hopefully tell their children about the show.
After scaling the positive and negative factors of each magazine, a peer group of varied ages decided it would be
best for me to put my article in The Radio Times because they believed that it would be more fitting due to What’s
on TV not containing double page spreads and that my documentary seems like it would be popular and the
Radio times usually concentrates on popularity.
The Radio Times had more ambiguity compared to ‘What’s on TV’ and did
not give away the content of the show, but instead the premises it is based
upon. If I used this technique, I believe that the audience will want to learn
more about what the show will contain as well as the characters.
Although the Radio Times does seem to pander to a hegemony, it does include
Channel 4 shows, so my documentary would be relevant.
Although the magazine is more expensive, it is better quality which I believe would
be more important in reflecting the quality of my documentary.
Given the key circulation of this magazine comes from middle aged women, and
women are what this show revolves around. Having my double page spread in the
Radio Times would result in having a suitable audience who would hopefully tell their
children about the show.

11. Radio Times
Pick of the day specialised section.
Used as the heading rather than
the actual show’s name.
Anchorage of image and text. The
image takes up the majority of the
page, possibly because the image is
descriptive in what the show is
about (they are obviously police
detectives). They may also not want
to give too much about the show
away so decide to condense
information to keep the audience
interested. It is just meant to be a
‘taste’ of the actual documentary,
not the plot.
Constructed image, perhaps reflecting
the nature of the show – it is the
participatory mode. This does not
match my documentary as it is
observational, therefore a constructed
image wouldn't reflect the content.
Consistently
states the
day the show
will be aired,
perhaps to
emphasise
that the
audience
should
watch.
Persuasive language (adjectives/rhetorics) to interest the reader
and persuade them to watch the show. If I were to use this style
I would have to aim at adults because they are more likely to be
the ones buying a magazine such as ‘Radio Times’ and then
passing the information onto teenagers.
Bold/contrasting text
which stands out and
makes it clear what
the important text
(actors names)
The Radio Times includes brief segments of ‘Picks of the day’, presumably to give the audience
insight as to what to keep an eye out for. If I used my documentary in a ‘Pick of the day’, then I
would expect higher levels of interest and anticipation to surround my documentary. However, ‘Pick
of the day’ is not a double page spread, so it would not be suited to my article, but some features
may benefit my article.

12. Radio Times

13. Second person perspective on Heston.
Colloquial tone as if the author and Heston
they are friends so the author trusts the
writer.
Personal pronouns to be on a personal level
whilst writing. Make the readers more
interested if they want to know more about
Heston and feel acquainted with the author.
First person would not be relevant for me
because although I want a colloquial tone to
represent school environment, it may be
hard to actually get information across if I
am too chatty. I would need to find a
medium between colloquial and writing too
much for the audience to still be interested.
Very wordy/ descriptive to emphasise the
show more and hook the audiences
attention tomorrow.
Rhetorics to involve the reader and their
opinion. Also humour, possibly connoting
the article is meant for a more mature
audience. Quotes are also used and give the
audience insight to the creator of the show’s
opinions and give them a brief insight as to
how the star will behave in the documentary
depending on the tone of the quotation.
This documentary aired on Channel 4, similarly I expect mine to be on C4 due to most C4
documentaries being observational or mixed documentaries as Channel 4 is infamous for taking risks
and making new documentaries which is why I would expect my documentary to be aired on here.
Channel 4 is often notorious in TV Guide’s and is often specialised for double page spreads, as seen
here. I would expect my documentary to be widely anticipated, much like Educating Yorkshire,
because it is the same style and genre that has pulled in mass audiences in the past.
Columns – fragmented so it is
easier to read.
Italics – highlight the tone and
emphasises words. I may use this on
key buzzwords for more emphasis and
emotion to my piece.
KID – KITCHEN (buzzwords).
Alliteration brought
together by colours.
Anchorage of colours
throughout article. More
catchy for the audience.
Sub-heading. Main topic in
bold. Personal pronouns.
Name of interviewers
prominent, perhaps because
they are meant to be a well
known writer.

14. Secondary image that is cut out to fit around writing. Not a
conventional square. Description of what the image is in a
contrasting colour to the suit worn. I would need to use Photoshop.
I would have two images to break my information up and add image
text cohesion to my work so it is easier to read.
Pull quote – Does not make sense without context so the audience
could feel the need to read. The quote stands out and is of
importance to the section. It gives the audience a taste of what will
be in each column, so I think that I will use this in my double page
spread to emphasise what each column will discuss and key
information for those who prefer to scan read as it may make
them want to read the full article.
Illumination at the start of a new
segment/paragraph to clarify the start
of a new topic. The colour matches the
graphology of the text as a whole.
Side Quote used to link to the image – better description
and insight for the audience of what Heston does/who he
is with – personal. I would use this on my picture but to
let the audience know which participant was which for
the readers so it is more clear.
Main image – takes up one page of a double
page spread. Construed posed photo/ close-
up of Heston because he is the main person
of interest, not his show. I would also have an
image concentrating on the main participants
of my show because they are also the main
part of my documentary.Author name is equally important – it is
in the title and also in bold.
Victoria Brocklesby

15. Victoria Brocklesby

16. Serious header which is not a play on words as it is not a suitable genre requirement. Although
it is effective for this genre, this is not relevant to my own work because with my use of
unintentional humour and context of teenagers and make-up, it may be expected of myself to
use derogatory humour towards teenagers due to adults being the main demographic of this
magazine.
‘Rory Kinnear’ – he is in bold and so could be more important that the rest of the sub header. It concentrates
on the stars involved rather than the content of the show. This would be beneficial for me to use because it
would allow my show some secrecy of the structure it will follow and so perhaps interest viewers more to
watch and find out more about the show.
Context of characters replicating a mini fact file so viewers can
absorb the show better as part of the reception theory as they
are familiar with main characters.
Consistent red and black theme. These colour connote violence and
blood, which is suitable graphology to reflect the genre of the show. I
would like to do something similar to this and use black and pink. The
pink would represent teenage girls and stereotypes because girls
allegedly like the colour pink, and black would represent society’s
often blunt concept of teens and media which would create
anchorage with the documentary.
Formalised tone possibly
to match the style of the
show and institution
which it airs on (ITV). For
my own documentary I
would want to be more
colloquial as the
documentary is not a
serious topic such as
murder, and humour is
reflected in my
documentary so using the
same tone as my
documentary would
create anchorage.
The image is the primary part of the text. It establishes who Lord Lucan is and who the 3
primary actors are. The clothing reflects their personality traits and allows the audience insight
into what kind of temperaments to expect. I assume a picture is used because, being a
mystery/drama, the creator did not want to give away too much about the show and so instead
uses an image to indicate what to expect and emphasise mystery. Lord Lucan is framed by the
two women, perhaps indicating that he is in power and they are fighting for his love. He is also
sat down on what appears to be a thrown and has a mischievous look on his face, possibly
indicating he is a murderer. The ambiguity of the image could lead to rhetorical questions which
could interest readers to watch. The image says more than text. In my own work I would also
use a construed image with facial expressions and objects representing feelings and content.
Although my show is observational and so be expected to use an observational photo to
correlate with this, being in Radio Times I would expect a more high quality image, and even
Educating Yorkshire has a construed image, possibly because they look more polished and
sophisticated to match the demographic o The Radio Times.
It gives clarity and
gives a blatant
indicator to where
the text starts.

10.Conclude with an overall statement about the
show.
I like the style and layout of the double page spread
as it has a primary page followed by secondary
images with an easy to read layout. I believe that if I
used this it would flow in the same chronological and
‘neat ‘order which would make the reception theory
easier for my audience.
I would also expect a
9:00pm airing time because
it is prime time television
and a time relevant to both
teenagers and adults as
they would (presumably) be
awake with any prior work
finished and ready to relax.
It is explicit language and
content barriers are lifted,
which would be beneficial
because I expect, due to
the observation style of my
documentary, that explicit
language will be used
without myself having to
cover this.
A 3rd
person perspective with
no use of personal pronouns.
Perhaps the audience is not to
be included for more ambiguity
of the show – the audience are
not meant to be ‘let in’ to the
show to gain further curiosity
from them, the show being a
documentary. I may use this
technique in my own article
because, although not a
mystery, it may intrigue
audiences. Saying this, with my
show actually giving insight to
teenage life and not being a
mystery, not including the
audience may not be relevant
to my own article, therefore I
will use personal pronouns.

19. Photography
Despite Educating Yorkshire (my primary documentary model) being an observational documentary, to advertise
the show constructed high quality images were used. I think this was so the personalities of the participants of the
show were recognisable, as well as allowing the picture to be more visually interesting. It gives viewers content
without giving away too much information as there is no writing on the pictures so facial expression will need to
say it all.
Mise-en-scene of holding a
calculator and maths book
clearly identified as a maths
teacher.
Closeness
connoting couple
behaviour.
Hands in

posture
connoting his

towards

Bleached blonde
hair and smile,
possibly
stereotyping she is
obsessed with looks
and conforming.
Serious
expression
representing his

School corridor indicating the
environment.
Given that my documentary revolves around 4 main
participants, in my picture I shall have these
participants up front and in clear focus to clarify this.
I have decided that I may have secondary
participants (Kyle, Ben Jordan and May) so my
picture has more of a school vibe because of all the
teenagers around.
This image of a teenager from the series
seemingly reflects her interest in her
appearance, supported by the styling of
her hair being ‘done up’. Looking in the
reflection of her phone is stereotypical of
teenagers and so teenagers may relate to
this and adults may find it humorous
(Cultural Transmission Val Masterman
1994)

20. Picture Draft
Terri looking at a magazine reflecting
that she is influenced by celebrities and
the media and indicates a key part of the
documentary (media). Her expression so
interest, as if scanning the details of the
celebrities she idolises so she can base
herself on this.
Wearing popular/ stylish clothing
amongst teenagers, possibly
indicating her personality to fit in
with trends. She is wearing fake tan
and heavy make-up, perhaps
connoting her dependence on
make-up.
Teacher is wearing a formal suit and is taller than the
students indicating he is of hierarchy. This is also
indicated by how he is positioned at the end as if
looking over the students’. I want his arms crossed to
convey that he may be frustrated by the students’
concentration on appearance over work. His head is
tilted in the direction of the students to represent they
are what is making him frustrated. This may act as
identity with my adult audience as they might
(Utopian Solution theory Dyer 1982) know how he
feels if they have teenagers themselves.
Poppy will be looking up into a
mirror and checking her
appearance. This is a stereotypical
teenage pose and also reflects how
important teenagers seem to think
appearance is. Poppy is at the end
so my participant are in
chronological order of age,
reflecting how the Q&A in my
documentary progresses.
Neve is wearing her own style and her facial
expression reflects her chilled out personality,
her shrug further backing this up. She does
not look condescending of other peoples
styles, but clearly has her own in contrast to
Poppy and Terri, which reflect the numerous
opinions and diverse people the show will
concentrate on, hopefully garnering more
public interest.
Poppy is
wearing a
school uniform
so my audience
knows she is
the younger
main
participant.
Set in a stereotypical
classroom so the
audience is aware of
the premise of the
show.
