Content analysis on Q magazine





















Using Q magazines February edition I have made a tally of the different types of pages, including adverts.












Looking at the tally the number of reviews and adverts seems to make up a majority of the magazine, what this shows me about the magazine is that it is aimed at a target audience interested in quality music and therefore at an older audience.
In addition to this the amount of newsworthy articles is small connotating that the audience of the magazine are not that interested in news or gossip.
The adverts are mainly for gigs or for new technology, this specifies the target audience, From a older audience I can now narrow it down to a older male audience, an audience interested in gigs and the newest phone or speakers.
Therefore from the content analysis alone I am able to figure out the target audience for Q which is about 20+ male audience.
Having said that it is clear that, whilst mainly male orientated it may also attract a small number of female readers yet as they are not specifically target keeping reader engagement is limited.
