Research into Potential Target Audience

After looking at my research i think i would like to produce a magazine with more of a mainstream image. I would like to include a lot of indie music, yet also a large range of other genres as i believe that everybody likes a taste of everything.

17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 I am going to aim at a target audience of 17-

24 year olds. I think this is good range of people and all have similar interests therefore the language they use will be similar; making it easier for me to relate to the age range. I will use some “slang” terms but i do not want to include too many as i think it will degrade my magazine and create a low status for it.

Slag terms

Obviously different type of people use different slang terms. As i am aiming at a large range of people i need to keep the slang terms to a minimum and use terms that everyone will be used to and use.

relation

Ensuring that relate with my target audience is one of the most important things. Readers should feel engrossed in magazine, a connection must be formed. Most young people are connected on social networks, being 17 myself I know that Twitter and Facebook are the two main social networking sites that young people regularly go on. I want to include these social networks repeatedly within my magazine to relate to my target audience and to also advertise my magazine on a global level.
