Research: target audience
and audience theory
Demographics
Demographics describe who is
consuming a media text
My magazine will be targeted mostly
at young adults (ages 13-20+) and
adults of any education level that are
literate.
These groups will likely be unmarried
or live alone. Those who like
gardening, meditation, nature, or are
spiritual in any way might find interest
in this magazine.
Things in this magazine will appeal to
people that live busy lives- that go to
school, work or are just affected by
the general stress of life- who also
seek calm and a way to destress
Psychographics
Psychographics describe why
an audience views a media text.
People might find interest in this
magazine if they are believers that
particularly value stability and
spirituality, or if they are achievers
looking to better their lives, but
don’t necessarily know where to
start or have the resources. Due to
they typically soothing nature of
most of the things I hope to cover in
my magazine, these groups will find
ways to improve their way of living.
Stuart Hall’s audience theory explains that
messages in a media text are interpreted
differently based on the audience’s
personal experiences. This is called
oppositional reading, while what the
producers what the audience to understand
is called prefered reading
Uses and Gratification theory- The Uses
and Gratification theory follows that media
consumers consume media to fulfill specific
needs. The needs highlighted in this theory
are as follows: surveillance, when
information is sought; personal identity, in
helping audience members relate and learn
about themselves; distraction, to help an
audience lay back and escape the real
world; social interaction and entertainment,
which help generate conversation and
certain feelings.
I plan to use Stuart Hall’s theory to help me
follow the path of interpretation that certain
people(believers, achievers, etc.) follow
when coming to understand or like or dislike
my text. I will use the Uses and Gratifications
theory to understand for what reasons my
audience might look at my magazine; the
audience might look into my magazine for
information about certain plants or practices
(surveillance), in helping them understand
themselves better, and find interesting new
topics that generate conversation, feeling,
and a way to lay back while learning about
something that interests them. I will keep the
specific reasons audiences view things in
mind when creating my article.
