4. Who would be the audience for your media product?

The target audience for my magazine would be teenagers both male and female, a slight bias more to males, who are interested in both the production and listening to the music. They would also play musical instruments for themselves as they are passionate about this shown by the main artist being an all rounder in terms of music e.g. playing the music instruments himself. This is also shown by the competition on the contents page where the prize is aimed for readers who record their own music. My target audience would also be open minded about being introduced into new genres of music, anything new that is being released. This is because the genre of my magazine is independent so therefore various genres of music would be conveyed in the magazine. They have an open mind about all different genres and are happy to listen to all kinds, not just the one. They would also like going to live shows as they like the atmosphere of the event and they like to hear the music live, not just through recordings. This is shown by the numerous references to tours and concerts. They also have an interest in the typical teenage TV shows such as Misfits and Skins; they also play the typical video games such as COD. This would be assumed by the typical teenage artist on the front cover suggesting that most of the readers would be typical teenagers.
