Question two Laura Slater
How does your media product represent particular social groups?
One way in which age is represented is through the language used. The language is very informal but also uses some taboo language that some people may find offensive and derogatory. From this we can see that the magazine is very clearly targeted to the younger generation who are more likely to use this language in a day to day conversation. As well as this the pictures used are quite informal. They are also quite relatable for people of that age. It represents what people of this age associate with.
My magazine also shows that it is mainly targeted at males and females as the music genre is not swayed to one or the other. However I do feel like the magazine may be more appealing towards boys as many of the pictures will appeal widely to them. For example pictures of the females. Although the music inside the magazine is varied and also can be related to both men and females.
Due to the language used throughout you can see that the social class this is aimed at is working class people who need a quick read and that are into this genre of music. This type of music magazine would not be suitable for example upper class people due to the language and pictures used.
