Reader Profile Mock Up

Why is a Reader Profile important?

 

A reader profile is something that would appear in most magazines, if not it would be included on the magazine's website, and consists of facts and information about the magazine itself.

 
A reader profile is important because, in general, it describes the audience that reads the magazine, like in NME for example. It talks about their likes and dislikes, and also about the audience themselves, for example if they are male or female, and if so, what is the percentage difference between the 2 genders, as well as the average age. As well as this, it would include how many issues of the magazine are sold worldwide on average.

 
It also includes what is typically included in that magazine, just like the NME reader profile I analysed had. For example, it would talk about things like music, mainly because it is a music magazine, and also things like films, for example if they do film and cinema reviews on the films that are out, just like NME did.

 
A reader profile shows the reader the importance of the magazine, as it lets them know how reliable and suited that magazine would be to those looking at the reader profile, and if it would be suitable for them; it lets them know the main and necessary information about the magazine itself.
