The target audience for the Pop music magazine "Chart Poppers!" are teenage girls between 14-17 years old. These girls enjoy pop music and want to keep up with the latest trends in music, fashion, and celebrities. They have disposable income from part-time jobs or allowance and come from middle-class families. The magazine aims to provide advice and build a "big sister" relationship with its readers to cater to their interests in pop culture.

1. Evaluation Question 6
Who would be the audience for my
media product?

2. The audience for my Pop music magazine, is young,
teenage girls between the ages of 15-17 but some of the
content can be aimed at 14-17 as my magazine is aimed
for a wider audience bracket.
These girls will have a disposable income either from a
part time job or pocket money from their parents,
nevertheless it is important that ‘Chart Poppers!’ remains
affordable. Their parents and themselves will fall into the
C1/C2 socioeconomic grouping and will most likely be
mainstreamers therefore will want to keep up with all the
latest trends and songs. As a result they won’t want any
challenging media and will look towards celebrities as
role models and be interested in pop music, fashion, boy
bands and will look to my magazine for advice creating a
“big-sister” relationship with my audience, therefore my
magazine shall reflect this in order to cater to their needs.

3. When deciding who my audience would be for my
media product I carefully considered my target
audience before making my media product:
Target Readership:
Chart Poppers! Is a new music magazine with the target audience of female
teens aged who enjoy listening to pop music and this is their favourite genre
of music. The target age for a Chart Poppers reader is 15-17 year olds but the
magazine may also be read by younger sisters or friends. However it is mainly
aimed toward the 14-17 year olds because at this age they are most
influenced by pop music and this genre appeals to them mostly. A lot of the
readers are at the age where they may have a part time job so by releasing
the magazine monthly they can pay for it with their wages at the end of the
month. Nevertheless, many of the parents will buy their daughters the
magazine and will be in the C1/C2 Socioeconomic grouping so it is important
that the magazine is affordable by all and this way the lower economic groups
are able to enjoy reading it also.

4. The front cover works as a hook, it is what will help sell my magazine
as it will be what people first see. Therefore, when creating my
magazine I spent a lot of time focusing on how to make my cover as
appealing as possible. I paid close attention to the picture and made
sure the cover lines were bold and bright but still readable to the
audience, I also made sure that I included everything my target
audience looked for i.e. celebrity model. Fashion articles, exclusive
interviews and competitions therefore making my magazine more
successful with my audience. .
