How does your media product

represent particular social groups?

My magazine is an R’N’B magazine with upcoming new artists. It does not have a particular social group nor does it just appeal to males but also females, it is for both sexes. However it may relate to people who are struggling such as working or lower class, who want to succeed in life and determine to do their best.

Also in my features column it is more about past lives and were they are now. The reason being for this is that so my audience can relate to them with their past experiences and learning how they do as well as the artists can. Most of my artists have not come from a privileged background such as Eminem who grew up in the street life but is now a well-known artist.

R’N’B is about inspiring people to do the best they can, it’s about real life so that the audience can relate. They also attract females and groups the articles show that they were a part of the audience before but they have changed. I took the ideas for my features from VIBE magazine which I changed into my words this is where I got the idea from.

Though is about music, it is also about real life this means the drama that also happens such as their love life’s to spice up the magazine we talk about relationships so people do relate and have full insight in the celebrities life which makes it more personal. Also by having contest shows the celebrities are willing to play a part in their fans lives and the audience can relate to them more. 

In my magazine I tried linking the genre R’N’B to the images also, by having a girl group in their natural setting, makes it more real for the audience and brings it onto a personal level. Also with having features such as exclusives and behind the scenes this also allows the celebrity and audience to relate personally bringing them closer. And it shows that effort is put in for the audience making them feel more special.
