Cover Stories

  • I have learned from my research that the stories included in a magazine would obviously have to appeal to the intended audience of the publication.
  • So, for my college magazine to appeal to the target audience (age range 16-18), it will have to feature stories which are relevant to the younger audience, consisting of students of the college.
  • I could approach this in the manner of aiming the magazine as a whole to more specific sub-sections of my intended target audience, (i.e. female students).
  • This would affect the stories featured as I would want them to be relevant to the audience, so, for example, if I was aiming the magazine at female students I would include Cover Stories such as "HPV: Harmful or Not?" and other subject matters which would be of more interest to female audiences (in this case relating to the recent H.P.V. Vaccinations).
  • However, as I would liek my magazine to appeal to all, or most, of the students in the college the stories the stories I feature would have to either be directed at a much wider audience, or I could have a mixture of stories which would make the magazine as a whole appeal to the desired wider audience.
  • Here are some initial ideas for stories which I could feature to appeal to a much wider range of audiences (I will add to these at a later date):

  • HPV: "Both Partners Benefit"
  • Bullying - Who to talk to and how to get help
  • Wyke Results Wow Ofsted
  • Wyke Party a Positive Success!
