Audience.

National Geographic.

The audience for the National Geographic is people, who have a interest or study geography or history. People who are in the A and B sections on the socio economic model for examples lawyer and teachers would read this magazine the reason for this is because the magazine uses a lot of text and less images, this shows its aimed at highly educational people therefore making it for people between the ages of 18 and 35 which have wider vocabulary making them able to read the text, which uses complex vocabulary. Both genders can have a interest in geography or other information for instance animals therefore making it not aimed at a particular gender.

This text attracts the target audience by using rhetorical questions as its subheading to persuade the audience by making them want to find out about the question its asking.  Additionally by using large images as its front cover as this tells the audience about the subject the National Geographic is talking about. 

This magazines gratification is manly information because of the facts and statics and social integration.  University students would discuss curtain facts and case studies used in the magazine to support points or opinions.

Game of Thrones

This fantasy television series is manly aimed at a audience which are male and between the ages of 18 and 30  the reason for this is because it contains nudity, bad language and violence which isn't suitable for a younger aged audience, for instance below age of 15.  This is additionally shown by the show airing at roughly 9pm on a school day this shows that it isn't aimed at the younger audience as most are sleep at this time.  This series interests males more than females because of the reason that it contains lots of violence and action.  This show is mainly aimed at people in the C2 and C1 sections on the socio economic model the reason is because the people watching have to be little educated in order to understand the vocabulary as well as the context.

This shows gratification is manly entertainment and social integration this is because the show is humorous as well as interesting making it enjoyable watch, also people like to discuss about what's happening in the series. This show wouldn't be personal identity because its a fantasy meaning its not real so people wouldn't be able to relate it to.

Facebook.

This social media website (Facebook) is aimed at a audience which is between the ages of 25 and 35 and female the reason for this is the younger aged go out more and see there friends in person so there's less need to speak to them over a social media website. People between the ages of 25 and 35 go out less due to work or higher education this means they have no time to go and see there friends so they use Facebook to speak to them instead. Facebook isn't aimed at a certain gender because both genders like to socialise making Facebook useful for both genders.


Facebook seems to be aimed at males more than females the reason is Facebook likes to use blue as its theme colour.  Additionally Facebook shows that it does aim at a younger aged audience for instance teenagers because the required age to sign up is 13 years old which is really low.

This social medias gratification is social integration because people like to discuss events which have been posted on there timeline as well as videos people have shared. Facebook is also entertainment and information gratification because people are informed about new events, jobs and generally other peoples lives which can take peoples interest.
