AS Media Pitch.(+Evaluation)

In my media pitch I had to talk about the details of my magazine and what it will include before I start producing it.

During the comments I took out the main points that were mentioned.

One of the things mentioned was if I am going to focus only on heavy metal and not other types of rock. In my magazine I wish to have the genre quite opened as it will bring in  a larger audience and allow more bands to be recognized and not turned down only because of the genre of music that they perform.

Another thing mentioned was how my magazine will be advertised. My magazine will be mostly advertised by social media as my target audience are teenagers. Teenagers are less likely to read newspapers and pay attention to more traditional types of advertising. I choose to use social media as it is something that my targeted age group look at the most which makes it more easy to spread the word of my magazine. It will also be a more subtle way of advertising compared to bold advertisements.

My teacher mentioned my target audience as well. Originally my target audience was 13-19 which was too narrow. I didn't want to extend my audience from 13-25 so I decided to make my target audience 16-25. I think this is going to be a easier audience to manage and appeal to as I am also a part of that audience and I try to base my magazine on what a perfect magazine would be like to me.

Another comment that was mentioned was the fact that the job opportunities that will be featured in the magazine are quite a nice touch to the magazine as it makes it different  from other magazines. I chose to add this feature as I imagined that it will set my magazine apart from others and make the magazine more interactive with the readers.Because this feature was recognized during my pitch I will go ahead with developing this idea and make sure that it pays an important part of my magazine.
