HOW DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT REPRESENT PARTICULAR SOCIAL GROUPS?

It’s a risk because it’s new and age range wise

Would have to be a small institution Would like to be reached in major towns in

the country Has to be limited as we don’t know how

many readers it will gain

WHAT KIND OF MEDIA INSTITUTION MIGHT DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT AND WHY?

9-14 year old girls All races Girls who like Pop music Girls who like to read about

celebrities Girls who like to gossip and

want to ‘fit in’

The audience would be the social groups that my magazine represents:
