Every magazine has an target audience. There are many types of audiences such as males, females, children, teenages, adults, people who like music, people who like polictics etc.
The Hot Issue” is trying to make the magazine seem more individual from the other issues they have released. Obviously Empire is very popular with movie addicts but the fact that it’s “The Hot Issue” makes the magazine sound more improved than usual, which could attract a new audience. For example younger males. Megan Fox on the front reflects on this quote because she is seen as being “hot” to a wide male audience. This Quote could attract women to read this magazine because they might wonder why she is the “Most wanted girl in Hollywood”.
Most music magzines are aimed for ages between 16 and 26 as this is young target group and mostly listen to chart music and as a survery has been carried out the results show that this range of target audience are most interested in music therefore are most likely to buy a music magazine such as NME.
Top of the pops magazine is mostly aimed for girls at the age of about 11, who are becoming in to the real world of relationships, love and caring about their apperances etc of most woman. As this magazine provides all of the stuff that a girl at that age might be interested in. Also the front cover gives of that appeal that it is for that age group and you would rarely see a boy or a 16 old girl buy this sort of magazine.
