Magazine Evaluation- Question Two

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

Some social groups presented in my media product. These are young people aged between 16 and 24 who like the genre of rock music. This may include such social groups as the "Young Alts", "Metalheads" and "Skaters" amongst other social groups mentioned on the website 'UK Tribes'. I also think that music magazines of this particular genre represent a male audience rather than females, even though some statistics say the reading figures of music magazines are that 60% are male readers and the other 40% being female. This is surprising as there are more female readers than you would expect, so therefore I think my media product represents both genders equally and that the genre of music featured is more important than specifically gender-aimed content. I do not think my product represents any particular socio-economic group, however, as most readers would be aged 16-24 and would not even register on a socio-economic scale.
