How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My magazine is aimed at old teenagers/young adults who are artistic and interested in alternative music. For this reason I used young alternative artists in my images. Because the readers are interested in design my magazine is very design led and the photographs are quite artistic. This also means there are a lot of good quality images. Although there are a lot of images there is still a lot of text, for example in the double page spread, as the readers would be very interested in everything they read. Often teenage magazines don't use much text and talk in 'teenage' speech, I didn't do this as I think for my readers it is a false stereotype. Stereo readers would want intelligent articles, though not too factual and boring, I tried to do this. As the audience is older teens they may be working and have money to spend, so the magazine is a bit more expensive than a young magazine, but has enough content and quality to be worth it.
