WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT?

According to the results of my survey, 6/10 people selected that they love Rap music and the same amount of people also selected that they love RnB music. Due to this result, when I started creating my music magazine I chose to select both RnB and Rap as the genre for my magazine. However, after researching into existing magazines of both genres I realised that it will be utterly difficult to blend the forms and conventions of these two genres into one magazine. So as I also love Rap music, I decided to choose it as the genre for my magazine. This makes my target audience people who, like me and like the 6/10 who selected it, love Rap music and would love to read Rap magazines.

70% of the people that completed my questionnaire on Survey Monkey were between the ages of 15 and 18 years old. About half of this population also selected that they like listening to Rap music and reading Rap magazines. Therefore my media product does not merely appeal to the target demographic of people who love Rap music but mainly teenagers between the ages 15 and 18 who love this genre of music and reading magazines about Rap music.

However, I believe that most people who answered my questionnaire were 1518 years old because I fall under the same age group and I gave the questionnaire to my friends/schoolmates (who also fall under the same age group) to fill it. Hence I decided to do a research on the adult Rap music listeners and found out that over half of Britains music lovers are currently fans of a 25 years old Rapper who currently resides in London. This then increased the age range of my target audience from 15-18 years old teenage Rap lovers to 15-25 years old Rap music lovers as adults over 25 are more interested in RnB, Classic and Soul music.

FURTHERMORE, MY MUSIC MAGAZINE ALSO APPEALS TO PEOPLE OVER

THE AGE OF 25 WHO FIND RAP MUSIC RELAXING, FUN AND NICE TO LISTEN TO AND RAP MAGAZINES INTELLIGENT, ENTERTAINING AND INSIGHTFUL TO READ!!!!

Rap music is a stereotype of the Black race as most Rappers are Black. This has contributed to making the platform of Rap music fans mainly Black people. Although over the years White Rappers have also arose making Rap music lovers consist of both Black and White people, the Black still dominate the fan platform of Rap music. As a result I have created my music magazine to also appeal to the target demographic of Black people who love Rap music. Combining the three target demographics together, my music magazine mainly appeals to people between the ages 15 to 25 who love rap music. In addition to that, people over 25 and Whites who love Rap music might also be interested in reading my final product.
