Audience Profile – Genre: ElectronicGender and Age (Hartley’s 7 Subjectivities) and whyAccording to Hartley’s 7 subjectivities, the target audience will primarily be males and some females from ages 16-35. This is because the magazine will contain information about electronic music which contains explicit words, therefore this may be unsuitable for children and offensive for the elderly. The performer in the main image on the cover usually wears a designer top and Top man jeans with trainers

Socio-Economic Needs and why:According to the socio-economic needs, this music will be suitable for category’s C2,D and E because electronic dance music is more appealing for young adults and teens, as they go to nightclubs more than upper class bankers and lawyers etc. As well as this, the music advertised may contain explicit words, which the elderly may find offensive. Therefore, I will have to make my magazine specifically appealing to only people of the social-economic classes of C2,D and E.
