Media Evaluation: Question 2
How does your magazine represent
particular social groups?
Social Groups
• "A social group is a collection of people who
interact with each other and share similar
characteristics and a sense of unity. A social
category is a collection of people who do not
interact but who share similar characteristics."
• But what social group will my magazine
represent?...
• My magazine will fall into the typical "teen pop
culture."
• Typical characteristics of teen pop music include
lyrics focused on teenage issues such as
love/relationships, finding yourself, friendships,
coming of age, fitting in, and growing up,
choreographed dancing, emphasis on visual
appeal (photogenic faces, slender body
physiques, immaculately attended hair and
designer clothes.
• My magazine supports this target audience by
having such things as fashion help, gossip,
personal advice included in an interview. I have
also combined artists such as McBusted and
Little Mix who also have the same target
audience, I have done this so my magazine will
have a chance of their fans buying my magazine
because these artists featured in it - making my
magazine more successful and brings together a
larger audience.
