Type of production/target audience of Magazine

In order to create a music magazine a number of decisions have to be made such the genre/type of magazine creating and the target audience.

The type if magazine I am going to create is based around the Rock genre. This is due to the fact it is has a limited market as there are only a few that appeal to a wide target audice. This meaning that the likes of 'Rolling Stone' include new and iconic rock artists so therefore appeal to a wide demographic. Whereas magazines such as 'Classic Rock' appeal to the older generations.

The Target audience is defined by the rock genre itself. This meaning that there is no definite age group as it is the music that appeals to the audience. However, with the usage of 'Classic Rock' as a aid to my research it could be argued that my target audience leans towards an older generation due to the major influences of rock on the modern world its unescapable not to include iconic artist that attract the older generations.
