How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

As mine is targeted at mainly men, my magazine could be seen to stereotype what men like, such as using black and blue as they are ‘masculine’ colours.

The age I targeted were adults, which highly influenced the style of writing I had to use. I wrote in a formal style, with a relatively complex writing style. However, I would use some formal stuff, such as conversational speech for the interview in order to make the reader feel comfortable. I also used formalities such as exclamation marks to express emotion throughout the text.

I used an image for my front cover of a man in the same age range as my intended audience, which can be seen to represent that age group.
