The target audience would have a wide range of occupations but many would likely be students.
Originally the group was supposed to record an evaluation together but they were unable to find time to do so. As a result, each person is now working individually on evaluations of the magazine editions. While working as a group was a good idea to get different perspectives, working individually ended up working better as the group couldn't rely on each other.
Uses and gratifications explanation and applicationsharnelmehmi
This document provides an explanation and application of Uses and Gratifications theory. The theory focuses on why people use media rather than the content itself, and assumes that audiences actively interpret media to meet personal needs like identity, information, entertainment, and social interaction. The document then applies this theory in summarizing how magazines like VIBE and NME meet these audience needs through artist interviews, news, and topics for social conversation.
This document provides details on the target demographics, genre, and marketing strategy for a music magazine. The target audience is described as late teens and young adults, primarily white/Caucasian females. The genre is defined as popular music, aimed at wide appeal. Key marketing tactics would include a competition to meet Justin Bieber listed on the cover, social media accounts promoted inside, and ads on channels and sister magazines targeting a similar young audience. An interview and photo feature a white artist that fits the stereotypes of the music to align with readers' expectations.
Future PLC would be a good publishing company for the magazine because they own similar music magazines that target teenagers interested in rock music. The magazine would advertise albums, music-related items, hair dye, and dark colored clothing since those products would appeal to the target demographic. An online presence, website, and app would also be created to provide additional content to subscribers and appeal to the target audience who frequently uses phones.
The document discusses choosing Matt Mastrangelo, the publisher of Rolling Stone magazine, to distribute an independent music magazine. Rolling Stone has international reach and influence in music culture. Distributing the indie magazine internationally through Rolling Stone's established networks and platforms would help the magazine gain recognition, sell more copies, and better promote up-and-coming artists. Rolling Stone's use of social media, websites, and apps allows for cross-promotion across different media to reach a wide audience.
The audience for this media product would be teenagers up to age 30, appealing to both genders equally. This target audience enjoys going out to listen to music, party at clubs, and engage in hobbies like football, singing, rapping, and hip hop dancing.

This document summarizes feedback received on three indie music products: costumes for a live performance, a digipak for an album, and a music video. The costumes and digipak received many positive comments about suiting the genre and having good design. The video also received praise but some criticism around technical issues like drums being out of sync. The feedback will help the creators improve products to better meet audience needs and expectations within the indie genre.
The magazine represents indie/rock fashion groups by featuring alternative clothing styles in photos and on the cover.

User testing found the new target audience would find the magazine successful.
The magazine content, images, language, and fonts were carefully chosen to attract the target audience of young adults interested in indie music. The content focused on concerts and exclusive interviews. Eye-catching images of concerts and relaxed poses were included. Informal language and mild cursing created a casual tone. Fonts on the cover and pages were selected to be readable yet sophisticated and suit the indie genre. Purposeful design choices across all elements aimed to engage the audience.

Audience theories examine the complex relationship between media producers and audiences. Producers aim to position audiences through encoded messages, but audiences can interpret these messages differently as active or passive receivers. Different factors like demographics, beliefs, and level of engagement influence how audiences decode media texts.
This document discusses concepts related to media audiences, including different audience reception models and ways to segment audiences. It introduces Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and compares the Hypodermic Needle and Uses and Gratifications audience reception models. The document also discusses Young & Rubicam's 4Cs cross-cultural consumer characterization model for segmenting audiences into seven types based on motivations like security, control, and individuality. Students are prompted to analyze ads using these audience concepts and segmentation models.
This document discusses key questions to consider when analyzing media audiences:
- How audiences process and make meaning from media texts, including Stuart Hall's theories of encoding/decoding as preferred, oppositional, negotiated, or aberrant readings.
- How audiences are affected by media texts according to media effects theories versus being active in using media to fulfill needs as per uses and gratifications theory.
- How audience consumption has changed from mass audiences of broadcast media to narrowcast and peer-to-peer sharing as audiences fragment across multiple platforms.
The document analyzes the film Taken using Propp's narrative theory, which identifies common character archetypes in stories. It discusses how the main characters in Taken - Brian as the Hero, his daughter Kim as the Heroine, and her kidnappers as the Villains - fit the expected roles of restoring order. Brian is dispatched by both himself and Kim's mother to rescue his daughter from the Villains, and receives information from a friend acting as the Donor. While most narratives include a Helper, Brian works alone in Taken. A character initially helping Brian but later betraying him fits the role of the False Hero.
Audience/Reception Studies explores how audiences receive and respond to cultural messages and representations. It focuses on the meaning created by how audiences internalize and modify images to suit their own cultural beliefs and identities. A major part of cultural studies is audience studies or reception studies, which examines how audiences consume and identify with particular cultural symbols, artifacts, and icons to express their cultural identities.
This document discusses key concepts relating to audience in media studies. It begins by defining different types of audiences, such as target, mass, niche, and secondary audiences. It then discusses how audience demographics like age, gender, social class can be analyzed. Several audience theories are outlined, including uses and gratifications theory, which discusses how audiences use media to fulfill needs like information, entertainment, and social interaction. Effects theory and its models (hypodermic needle, two-step flow, cultivation) are covered, as well as reception theory and Hall's encoding/decoding model of how audiences can interpret texts in preferred, negotiated, or oppositional ways. Genre theory and its relationship to audience expectations and pleasures is also discussed.
Stuart Hall was a cultural theorist who developed a model for how audiences interpret mass media texts. The model suggests there are three ways of reading: the dominant reading where the audience fully accepts the intended message, the negotiated reading where the audience partly accepts it but modifies it based on their own views, and the oppositional reading where the audience rejects the intended message based on how it conflicts with their own social position. Hall was interested in how the media propagates ideologies and frames public debates by positioning audiences, and the concept that texts can have multiple meanings open to different interpretations.
This document provides an overview of three key audience theories:
1. The Effects Model views audiences as passive recipients who are directly influenced by media texts. It has been criticized for ignoring audience agency.
2. The Uses and Gratifications Model positions audiences as active, using media to fulfill needs like diversion, escapism, and social comparison. It suggests consumption can help address personal issues.
3. Reception Theory recognizes that meanings encoded by producers may be decoded differently by audiences, who can have dominant, negotiated, or oppositional readings of texts. It acknowledges multiple possible interpretations.
The document discusses how the media product represents particular social groups. It aims to target indie music-loving teens through featuring artists they can relate to and aspire to be like.

Top 10 AI Trends to Watch in 2024
Trend 1: Agentic AI
Overview of Agentic AI
Agentic AI represents a fundamental shift in artificial intelligence. These AI systems are designed to comprehend complex workflows and pursue difficult objectives autonomously, with minimal human assistance. Essentially, agentic AI functions similarly to human employees, understanding intricate contexts and instructions in normal language, defining goals, deducing subtasks, and adapting actions to changing circumstances.
Impact of Agentic AI
Agentic AI has the potential to drastically alter organizational roles, procedures, and relationships. AI assistants with advanced thinking and planning capabilities can perform tasks previously managed by humans. This shift enhances productivity by fully automating complex processes, freeing workers from repetitive tasks to focus on more critical activities. The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances ensures continuous operational improvements.
Examples and Use Cases of Agentic AI
Autonomous Vehicles: Self-driving cars use agentic AI to navigate roads, interpret traffic signals, and make real-time decisions to ensure passenger safety.
Smart Home Devices: AI-powered home assistants, like smart thermostats and security systems, operate autonomously to optimize energy usage and enhance security.
Customer Service Bots: Advanced chatbots handle complex customer queries, provide solutions, and escalate issues to human agents when necessary.
Trend 2: Open Source AI
Overview of Open Source AI
Open-source AI involves freely available source code, encouraging developers to collaborate, use, adapt, and share AI technology. This openness fosters innovation and speeds up the development of practical AI solutions across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and education.
Impact of Open Source AI
The collaborative nature of open-source AI promotes transparency and facilitates continuous improvement, leading to feature-rich, reliable, and modular solutions. These platforms enable the creation of applications such as real-time fraud detection, medical image analysis, personalized recommendations, and customized learning experiences.

music and the genre of ‘pop punk’.

‘you’, ‘we’, ‘us’, etc.
• I will use imagery to address my target audience.
OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF
DEFINITION
• My magazine will offer the opportunity for
independence and individuality in the ideology of
empowering women and avoiding gender stereotypes.
3. GIVING INFORMATION
• I will do this in the form of genre relevant news,
interviews, features, tour dates, etc.
Humour and entertainment
with information
• One of the purposes of a music magazine is to
entertain. I will use a humorous tone within my feature
article.
• Another common example of the use of humour is
through puns. I will use play on words for sell
lines, headings, captions, etc.
4. RITUAL PLEASURE OF CONSUMING
THE FAMILIAR

to Kerrang!

adhere to the ritual pleasure of consuming the
familiar.

posters, CDs, downloads, vouchers, and competitions
as the audience receive a sense of being given to.
5. The sense of belonging to a
community of readers
• The shared opinion of taste in music is one way in which the
readers are united. Fans of ‘pop punk’ music are referred to as
being part of the ‘bandom’ (similar to the term ‘fandom’ –see
glossary).
• Methods which allow the readers to communicate exist through
social networking websites Twitter and Tumblr.
• In terms of the contents of the magazine, I will include a feedback
page which readers are able to message (through
letters, emails, and social network websites) their opinions and
offer their voices.
• Similar to the Kerrang! website, I could create comment sections on
the POWER website, where the readers can voice their opinions
and address each other.
• I could extend the brand to other social networks, such as
Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Tumble where existing users will
also be able to communicate with an administrator and other fans.
