Evaluation VI

How does your media product represent particular social groups?

As with most general music magazines, my magazine represents a wide cross section of society and the music business, with indie, rock and also rap portrayed on a page throughout the magazine.
Additionally, through marketing, I would attempt to to portray people of different races, cultures and gender equally, by showing artists popular with different elements of society, and additionally female bands to give females equal representation. Despite this, I used a male dominated front cover, as throughout the research I conducted this was common.
Furthermore, the stereotypes that some people hold against people of other genders and cultures can be challenged in my magazine. This allows me try and break the negative stereotypes, and gives me an excuse to display a wide diversity of artists in my product.
