AS Media Coursework Main Task - Alex O'Niell

Target Audience



The table above shows statistics for different magazines, to find my target audience I am going to compare the two indie/rock magazines on the list and look at what there statistics show. The two magazines I am looking at are Kerrang! and NME.

Total amount of readers - Kerrang! = 417,000
NME = 388, 000

Social Grade ABC1 - Kerrang! = 239,000
NME = 250,000

Social Grade C2DE - Kerrang! = 178,000
NME = 137,000

Age Category (15-44) - Kerrang! = 378,000
NME = 339,000

Age Category (44+) - Kerrang! = 39,000
NME = 49,000

Gender - Male - Kerrang! = 290,000
NME = 296,000

Gender - Female - Kerrang! = 127,000
NME = 91,000

Above are the statistics for the two magazines, this helps me as those two magazines are the same genre and most importantly the same audience as the magazine I am doing, this gives me a good idea of who I can target my magazine for. Here is a profile of a typical reader of the magazine I am creating: -

Demographic Factors
  • Gender - Male
  • Age - 15-44

Socio-economic factors

  • Social Grade = ABC1

Lifestyle and psychographic factors

  • Lifestyle and Personality = Mainstreamers
  • 15+ C1 Men
