My media product is a music magazine called 'Punk Craze' it's genre is Punk and Rock, my magazine will have a small audience as Rock and Punk music isn't as popular as it was the past. My magazine is aimed at those aged 16-25 as this age range are the ones most likely to be fans of new Punk and Rock music as it emerged in the 90's and the 2000's. This type of music is also very present on social networking sites such as Instagram and Facebook; these sites tend to be heavily populated teens and young adults compared to other age groups and this means they are the most likely ones to be fans making them a possible audience. My magazine is also priced cheaply at only £2.99 to attract those between the ages of 16 and 25 because the vast majority are students, part time or are unskilled workers (Groups E and D on the JICNAR scale) and due to this they won't have much disposable income, which makes this cheap price appealing to them. However my magazine also has a secondary audience in the age range of 40 to 50 as this group were teenagers when Punk and Rock music were popular, this means that they may still be fans of the genres and be willing to read my music magazine as it even includes older bands such as Black Sabbath.
My audience from both age ranges are likely to possess a car whether its cheap or expensive, meaning they'll have access to the stereo within it which will allow them to listen to Rock and Punk radio stations like Punk Fm and Punk Radio, which will keep them up to date with the newest bands and music and keep the audience interested in the latest Rock and Punk music.
The ethnic group for my magazines audience will be white people as the vast majority of artists and fans of Punk and Rock music are white whether they're young or old. Culture wise my target audience will be British or American as these two countries are where the music genres originated from and are thus more likely to already have fans of Punk and Rock music.
