The document discusses the history of newspapers and yellow journalism. It describes how the introduction of penny presses in the 1830s helped popularize newspapers and shift them towards sensational stories that appealed to mass audiences. Yellow journalism refers to journalism that uses sensationalism and illustrations over accuracy. It was fueled by the penny press approach. The document uses the sinking of the USS Maine prior to the Spanish-American War as an example of how newspapers like Hearst's exploited events. The Daily Show segment satirizes how modern clickbait journalism prioritizes sensationalism and views over truth, similar to yellow journalism. The show aims to enhance media literacy by encouraging critical thinking about news consumption through humor and satire.
Pp1 evaluation question 2
This document discusses the target audience for a media product, which is young adults aged 14-18 of both genders. The magazine aims to appeal to this audience through an informal yet sophisticated design with gender-neutral coloring. Both the front cover and contents page use casual language and visuals to seem appealing and catch the eye of its target demographic. While one article focuses more on rock music which may interest males more, the inclusion of a female singer in the main image helps maintain interest from both genders.
Primary audience research
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire about an indie magazine cover. It found that respondents thought the cover appealed to them because the main image featured a well-known person. They also thought the genre was indie/alternative based on the articles and image. Respondents expected indie magazines to have red and black color schemes and feature music-related articles. Most said the cover fit the genre and they would buy the magazine because the style of music appealed to them.

Questionnaire
The document summarizes feedback from a questionnaire about a student's magazine coursework project on rock music. 60% of respondents felt the 3 pages were consistent visually while 40% noted issues like different backgrounds. Suggestions to improve consistency included using the same color/pattern on all pages. Respondents agreed the color scheme of red, black, and white fit the rock genre well although a brighter color could make it more eye-catching. The target audience of 16-22 year olds was identified correctly except by one respondent who selected 10-15. Strengths included the layout and colors while weaknesses included inconsistent backgrounds and lack of creativity on the double page spread.
Primary audience research
The document outlines research questions about audience preferences for an indie magazine, including what appeals to readers, expected article genres and conventions, appropriate age groups and buyers, and willingness to purchase. Responses found the cover appealed because the subject was well-known. This informed that using a famous person would be difficult, but photo conventions could be followed. People also recognized the genre from music and artists, preferring a darker color scheme with brighter colors for details.
Pitch - Jack Waite
The document outlines a plan for a new technology magazine called "Enlighten" targeted at 16-25 year olds in the North East of England. It will be self-financed through advertising sales and magazine sales priced at £2.50 each.

A2 Evaluation Question 1
This summarizes the document analyzing the forms and conventions used in the media product, which includes an original regional magazine. It discusses how the magazine's cover, contents pages, editor's comment, advertisement, billboard, and website layout conform to conventions of real magazines while also challenging some conventions. The cover uses typical fonts, photos, and tagline placement. The contents pages follow conventions for layout, fonts, and photos but challenges typical photo placement. The inside pages and website largely conform to typical magazine styles but challenge some norms like full-page ads and scrolling articles.
A2 Evaluation Question 2
The combination of the magazine, website, and billboard is effective in promoting brand consistency. The logo, award winner designation, and previous issue promotion are consistently displayed across formats. The website provides interactive preview pages and subscription options to promote the magazine. Social media links and the website address are prominently featured to create a cohesive multi-platform brand identity. Fonts, layouts, and visual styles are similarly unified to establish a recognizable house theme.
Codes and Conventions of the Editor's Comment and Advertisement
The document analyzes the codes and conventions used in editor's comment pages across different regional magazines. It describes the layout of three magazine editor's comments, noting things like the use of the editor's photo, social media links, columns, and ads. General codes are then summarized, including including a handwritten signature, the editor's photo and social links, column-based layouts, supplemental photos to personalize the content, advert designs, and consistency with the magazine's overall theme.
Codes and conventions of Regional Magazine Billboards
The document analyzes the codes and conventions used in billboard advertisements. It summarizes three billboard examples and identifies common patterns. Generally, billboards have a plain background, feature the product name or slogan in large contrasting text slightly off-center, include a product image on one side, and place the company logo alone in a corner. While product images directly represent the item, more unusual or risque visuals may better engage audiences. Adhering to typical structures draws attention to the intended messaging.
Codes and Conventions of Regional Magazine Contents Pages
The document analyzes the codes and conventions used in regional magazine contents pages. It provides examples from three magazines and notes common features like splitting contents into sections, using images to represent articles, and displaying contact information. General codes include a plain white background, splitting contents into categories, grouping article images together with page numbers, and repeating the magazine title, issue number and date. The purpose is to make key information easily accessible and encourage readers to explore specific articles.
Codes and conventions of Regional Magazine Front Covers
The document analyzes the codes and conventions of magazine covers. It examines the covers of three magazines - Kent Life, Landscape, and Cornwall Today. Some common elements identified across magazine covers include placing the masthead in large white text at the top, using a striking central photograph, and adding overlays or taglines around the photo to promote articles. Location bars and award listings are also used to interest readers. Barcodes and prices are kept small and out of the way to not detract from the visual elements intended to attract buyers.
Ancillary Task 2 - Regional Magazine Website Codes and Conventions
The document summarizes the codes and conventions of regional magazine websites. It analyzes the layout of three magazine websites - Kent Life, Cornwall Today, and English Garden. It finds that all three prominently display the magazine title at the top of the page. They feature articles and use blank side sections to frame content. They also include options to subscribe. The document concludes by stating that magazine websites typically put the masthead at the top left, use a wide main column, and include subscription and social media options.
Media Studies A2 Coursework - Existing media: Magazine
Kent Life magazine was originally focused on wildlife after World War 2 but expanded to include gardening and history of Kent. It targets older audiences, particularly females, based on the elegant fonts and proper English. Landscape magazine, founded in 2012, focuses on gardens and lifestyles with close-up photos on the covers targeting middle aged women. Cornwall Today similarly targets residents and visitors of Cornwall with beautiful imagery appealing to affluent readers, having a predominantly female audience between ages 25-44 like Landscape.
Media AS Evaluation Question 6
I have learned several technologies through creating my magazine. I used a Nikon DSLR camera to take professional photographs for the cover, contents page, and spreads, learning how settings like shutter speed, aperture, and ISO affect images. I also gained experience shooting in different locations and with lighting. Additionally, Adobe Photoshop was key to constructing the final product, and I learned how to use various tools and effects to manipulate images professionally.
Media AS Evaluation Question 2
This document discusses how a media product represents particular social groups. It analyzes a magazine created by the author to primarily attract older teens and young adults. Several design elements are discussed, including using a teenage model on the cover and in photos to attract a younger audience, including some photos of young women to attract both male and female readers, and using predominantly male perspectives and photos to appeal more to men. The layout and design aims to appeal to older audiences through a minimal color scheme and straight lines rather than bright colors and curved lines that may attract younger teens. The goal is to represent and engage the intended late teen/early adult audience through relatable content and a down-to-earth style.
Media AS Evaluation Question 1
This document evaluates how a media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real media.
It analyzes the design elements of a mock music magazine, including the masthead, issue date, background, barcode, cover images, cover lines, and page layouts.
Many conventions of Billboard magazines are followed, such as a minimal aesthetic. However, some conventions are challenged, such as including social media links and previous issue highlights on the contents page.
Overall, the magazine both conforms to codes of music magazines but also innovates on conventions from other genres to develop new ways to interact with consumers.
Focus Group - Mock Ups
The document summarizes feedback from a focus group on magazine mock-ups. For the first mock-up, the focus group liked the fonts and central model with clean space. For the second mock-up, they thought the side title was interesting but may not grab attention, and liked the bold fonts but wanted a more interesting color. For the third mock-up, they preferred seeing the full model and thought the vertical "The" fitting with "Rise" was eye-catching, but didn't like the bottom writing. Most preferred the name "The Rise" and layout with the masthead fitting at the top. Therefore, the final magazine cover will be called "The Rise" with a mid-shot model and
Magazine Codes and Conventions - General Music Magazines
General music magazines follow several conventions for their front covers, contents pages, and double page spreads. The front cover typically features the magazine's short, memorable masthead in a large, non-serif font at the top. It also includes a close-up photo of a person or group making eye contact with the viewer. Subtitles around the photo advertise other articles in smaller, varied fonts that match the color scheme. The contents pages list articles along with page numbers in larger fonts than the descriptions. Double page spreads vary more but commonly use large central images and multiple columns of small text in different colors for readability.
Magazine Codes and Conventions - Billboard Specific
The document provides observations about design conventions used in Billboard magazine covers and content pages. Some key conventions highlighted include:
- Using a consistent logo/masthead across issues to brand the magazine. Covers typically feature one central image with 1-3 pieces of text.
- Simple color schemes, fonts, and layouts are used to keep designs clean and highlight important information.
- Content pages follow a consistent layout but cover images relate to the cover story and theme.
- Double page spreads vary more but typically feature a large central image, headline, and body text organized around the image. Quotes are sometimes used to entice readers.

Focus Group - Magazine Design
- 1. FOCUS GROUP FEEDBACK 1Magazine Design
- 2. I proposed three different styles of magazine cover to my focus group and had them vote on their favourite. I then asked them what they liked about it, as I hope that this will provide valuable information about how I should create my magazine cover and inside spread.
- 3. COVER 1 55% of my focus group said that they preferred this cover. The distribution of the results were varied but it was mostly the younger 16-20 year olds who preferred this cover. Some of the reasons for this are: • "I like the interesting pose and composition of the cover." • "I like the plain colours used, with red being the only brighter colour." • "The cover is simple with little writing and focus being on the model."
- 4. COVER 2 This cover was the second most liked by my focus group. 40% of the group preferred this cover with a mix of the older and younger end of the age range. This means that the range of people was fairly spread and so this cover appealed to the whole age range. • "I like the close up shot of the model." • "The dark colour used for the background highlight the model and pronounce her features." • "I like the plain background."
- 5. COVER 3 Only 5% of my focus group liked this cover. That is only 1/20 people and I was intrigued as to why. The person was 26 and female. • "The bright colours drew my attention to the cover and the interesting background made it different to the other two. It seemed like a more individual cover than many that I usually see."
- 6. This feedback has been valuable as I have learned that consumers prefer plain covers with simple colours and less writing. Busy backgrounds with lots of writing and bold colours does not attract that many people.
