AS MEDIA COURSEWORK EVALUATION

The magazine represents several social groups through its focus on mainstream chart music and celebrity culture. It targets people who enjoy popular music and stereotypes them as materialistic and not rebels. The magazine also promotes celebrity obsession among teenagers and an interest in artists' music. While it shows both boys and girls using technology like mp3 players, it represents most of its teenage audience as interested only in music and downloading tracks online. However, disabled people receive no representation in the magazine.
