Audience Research-Music Magazine Assumption Questions

Audience Research- Music Magazine

By Chloe Rudkin

             When I look at this particular music magazine, I assume that its target audience are males aged around 16 to 30. This is because the magazine has a clear RnB theme with all of the latest news and interviews with the latest artists that this audience are interested in. After studying the magazine, I can assume the following questions: What breakfast cereal do they eat? I think that the reader for this magazine would probably eat cereals with high amounts of energy such as bran flakes or ‘Weetabix’. What car/mode of transport do they use?  Personally, I think that this reader would drive quite sporty cars which attract a lot of attention. What accommodation do they live in? I think this reader would probably live in their own flat or in a house with friends.                 What do they drink? This reader would probably drink high energy drinks such as ‘Red Bull’ or ‘Lucozade’. What TV shows do they watch? I would assume that this audience would watch TV programmes such as ‘Top Gear’ or other typical male programmes. What Music do they like? I think this audience would like rap music or RnB music. What is their favourite meal? I think their favourite meal would probably be something wholesome such as a large burger. What sport do they watch and what sport do they play? I would assume that this reader would watch boxing or rugby and possibly play these sports too. Who is their partner, or are they single? I would assume that their partner would be model like with dark hair. Where do they go on holiday? I think this reader would probably go on holiday to somewhere like Miami or Spain. Do they vote, and if so who for? I don’t think this type of audience would vote. What type of bar/pub/club do they go to? I think they would go to a very busy club with lots of people and cheap drinks. What style of clothing do they wear? I would assume that they would wear simple clothing like tracksuits and hoodies.

          When I look at this particular music magazine, I assume that its target audience are both males and females aged around 16 to 30 by the way it claims to have factual up to date information about recent artists that all teenagers would like to know. After studying the magazine, I can assume the following questions: What breakfast cereal do they eat? I think that the reader for this magazine would probably eat cereals such as ‘Shreddies’. What car/mode of transport do they use?  Personally, I think that this reader would drive quite a reasonably priced car in a bold colour. What accommodation do they live in? I think this reader would probably live in their own flat or in student accommodation. What do they drink? This reader would probably drink soft drinks such as ‘Coke’ or ‘Fanta’. What TV shows do they watch? I would assume that this audience would watch TV music channels, or reality programmes. What Music do they like? I think this audience would like current chart music. What is their favourite meal? I think their favourite meal would probably be pizza. What sport do they watch and what sport do they play? I would assume that this reader would watch football or athletics and possibly participate in these sports too. Who is their partner, or are they single? I would assume that their partner would be someone with similar interests and good looking. Where do they go on holiday? I think this reader would probably go on holiday to somewhere cheap like Spain. Do they vote, and if so who for? I think this type of audience would vote for the conservatives.

             Overall, I feel that these magazines have researched their intended reader well by aiming all aspects of the magazine towards them.
