The first magazine that I examined was Top Of The Pops:
Top Of The Pops is mainly a gossip magazine, talking about the latest stars in the music industry and also including several interviews with them to know about their lives and their habits.
I think that Top Of The Pops' target audience are young girls aged 10-15. I think this because the magazine usually shows attractive movie stars and girls would find them popular.
UPDATE: Top Of The Pops shows evidence of being a surveillance magazine as it gives information on the lives of popular music stars and their interests, and as a form of diversion because of the content and allowing readers to send in questions.
The second magazine that I examined was Kerrang!.
Kerrang is mainly a rock magazine, giving out interviews with famous members of the rock music industry and the adverts mainly to do with music and concerts, letting the reader know who will be there and when the concert begins.
I think that Kerrang's target audience is older rock lovers and concert goers because there is lots of information on concerts and the content and design is more edgier and less family friendly than Top Of The Pops.
Kerrang mainly shows evidence of being a surveillance magazine because of the concert advertisements and the interviews with rock stars, and also a diversion because the concerts are shown as a place to go for a disraction and to have a fun time.
That's all until next time...
