How does your media product represent particular social groups?

In terms of content I chose to represent the younger metal audience as that is what my audience was in my research:

The younger audiences are usually more likely to buy music magazines and so when creating my product I decided to use more younger bands to attract the attention of that younger audience. While also doin my research it was shown that the majority of my audience was female so I decided to adapt my magazine into using more younger male bands while also featuring a female artist as well. It was shown they liked a mixture of younger and older bands so I used Metallica as one of my featured stories to fit this trend.

 

My research into demographics helped me understand tat the middle class audience would be the best to target as that's where a lot of younger people stand and the middle class have the disposable income to buy magazines more often, compared to the lower classes. I stereotyped the audience in the sense of the manner of dress and the theme of the magazine. The manner of dress I used was denim or leather jackets or grittier clothing styles as that's what is seen most in the genre. The theme of the magazine was chosen due to 'hell' being a common topic within the genre and so I decided to use it as the magazine name and the overall theme of the magazine
