Readership Profile

Age range: Seeing as my problem page will be aimed at those in Sixth Form, the target age will range from 16 to 18-year olds. It’ll cover issues such as relieving exam stress, how to revise properly and will include more personal issues such as home life, out of school activities and friend problems, as these are also important to being a healthy, happy student. With the larger range of subjects that will be covered, it will gain a wider audience and attract more readers.

Gender: My problem page will be aimed at a female audience, as it is more common for women to write in with their queries than males. Although most subjects covered will be aimed at both genders, there will still be some gender-specific topics included. I will have a female agony aunt for that reason, so that they are able to relate and give proper advice using experience. Having a female agony aunt will also make it more comfortable for people to write in.

Personality: My problem page will include questions and answers that will appeal to many different personalities in order to have a wider audience. There will be questions more directed at the studious type who is interested in finding more helpful ways to revise or how to plan the time they have for exams, as well as questions directed at people with a more active social life who have questions on how to deal with certain social situations.

Interests: My audience will have a variety of interests, including music and films and such. These subjects will be included in my magazine, as well as other articles on after school activities they could try out. Obviously there will be pages dedicated to usual tips on taking exams and revision.
