Media question

With reference to your own detailed examples explore how media texts attract different audiences.

Media text = any constructed media product or piece of communication, whether print or audiovisual, which can be analysed and deconstructed.

Different media texts can be used to draw in different audiences for example if you use social media then it will target most people except maybe elderly people who don't really use it as much. What a lot of companies will do is see what you usually look at and place ads to do with what you usually search to try and get you to buy there products and reach out to whoever is viewing their product.

Using newspapers and print based media in my opinion will be good to reach out to the people aged 30 onwards because I think the younger generation will usually use their phones/ tablets instead of picking up a newspaper.

Television is another form of media which will cover a large audience because most people will have a TV and even though they might not directly watch it it could be on in the background with the news on to briefly listen to. 

Another form of media used to attract a large audience is music. I think this is a really good form of media because each genre of music targets different people for example rap/ grime could target people aged 14 - 25 whereas classical music could target an older generation however it is all opinion based. Magazines/ newspapers might start music artists on the front to try and get the target audience to read their print based media.

Advertising is another way for companies to try and communicate with customers and other people. By showing their product and showing you reviews and low prices to try and attract new customers.
