- 7. Publisher Research ‘IPC Media is the UK's leading consumer magazine and digital publisher’ NME, Nuts, Uncut and Style at home are brands that are published by IPC Media With more than 60 media brands IPC creates content for mulPple plaZorms, across print online mobile tablets and events. they engage with 26 million UK adults -‐ almost two thirds of UK women and over 40% of UK men. Their award winning porZolio of websites reaches over 25 million global users every month. IPC Media reveled in June 2010 that uncut was UK's most authoraPve music and movie magazine with an overall circulaPon of almost 75k. In May 2008 the magazine NME received a redesign, aimed at an older readership with a less pop like and more classic vibe. The first issue of the redesign featured a free seven-‐inch Coldplay vinyl single. CirculaPon of the magazine has fallen conPnuously since 2003. In the second half of 2011, the magazine's circulaPon was 23,924, 66% down to 2003 figure of 72,442. This could be due to the fact that many of the magazine's old fans believe it has changed it's style, and as a result, IPC are receiving a financial blow. IPC Media has recently changed its name to: Time Inc. UK “CONSUMERS INTERACT WITH TIME INC. UK BRANDS MORE THAN A QUARTER OF A BILLION TIMES A YEAR -‐ THAT’S OVER 10 MEANINGFUL INTERACTIONS PER SECOND” – Time Inc. UK hjp://www.Pmeinc.com/businesses/Pme-‐inc-‐uk/

- 9. The target audience for this magazine will be teenagers as teenagers are more interested in alternaPve rock and indie. In terms of Hartley these magazines are perfect for social climbers as they want to know what's happening and talk about it to their group and are more likely to promote the magazine towards the other teens who hear about the magazine from the social climbers. While survivors want the security of knowing their band who may have broken up have come back together, for which they will by the magazine and will thereby become a social climber as they will announce if their favorite band has broken up or come together, to their friends. When applying to Maslow age will really majer as there is only a certain age range that will buy my magazine, which is 16-‐28 (as this is the Pme they will feel their rock/indie vibe). Gender does not a concern for the audience as both genders seem to like, the general rock/indie music, so the will also like my magazine. This also applies to class, naPon and family as well as people of all classes, naPon like rock/indie magazine. But I think that ethnicity and self image of the audience majer. Ethnicity majers as not all ethnicity like rock/indie music as some prefer rap and hip-‐hop music. I think that self image majer as the audience model themselves around the arPsts they like and therefore will like my magazine as they will be shown many image of their favorite arPsts. For Katz I think: Personal relaPonship, inform and educate and diversion were the most important out of the 4. I choose personal relaPonship as through interviews about the arPst(s) or though the the cover lines of the magazine, the audience, over Pme through the magazine learns more informaPon about the arPst(s), such as: what they do while not wriPng or recording songs or where they are going next or who they are going to collaborate in their new album which leads to inform and educate. I included diversion as the audience will escape from their Presome reality, into the text, having a face to face chat and imagine the arPst(s) talking back to them as they feel themselves becoming the interviewer, interviewing the arPst(s). Star appeal is the unique selling point of my magazine magazine, as the passive audience expect to see their favorite band on the front cover of the magazine.
