Media Pack and audience

The Media pack I will pursue is a magazine based for people who like any music in the charts, UK Top 40 or the Albums chart. It will be a general music magazine covering the most popular artists in terms of statue.

My Target audience is teenagers and young adults as they tend to be most interested in different and current music etc. People at this age have more social time so take more interest in music and celebrities. The people I am aiming for are passionate about music, enjoy different genres, take pleasure from listening to things I and enjoy learning about people.

Language – NME

The National Music Express writes fairly formally, Its sentences tend to be long and informative, there is a lot of writing and paragraphs as well as pictures to really bring a visual and attractive aspect to the magazine. The tone the magazine uses is very direct it seems like a friend with the way it teaches you as well as a intelligent friend when it comes to people sharing their experiences and music, with a lot of the articles it also seems like a unintelligent friend as someone is sharing a lot of information about themselves and putting their view across about current affairs forcing a judgement from you.
