During this task I

am analysing
different
magazine genres
and understand
how the cover
lines ,on each
cover page, link
to the uses and
gratification
theory.

I will focus on these ways

of reading.

Personal identity
Information
Integration and social interaction
Entertainment
Surveillance

The use of the words

essential and must
catch the readers attention
because it makes him feel
as he really needs to know
what that article is about.
This quote advices
the reader to feel
hope for his future.

Any magazine
fulfils the
diversion need
because the
reader can sit
down and read
about the
happenings in
the world of
music (in this
specific case).
Giving advices ,
also is a ways to
reach the reader
and to
guarantee that
this establishes
a sense of
curiosity in the
reader.

By reading a magazine of a specific

genre you may become part of a
community , fulfilling the needs of
personal relationships.

Listing famous
artists names ,
makes the reader
place himself into
the celebrities
lifestyle just by
reading the articles.

Personal relationships: gossips

get everyone talking about
specific subjects , which helps
companionship.

Nowadays women
magazines give a
stereotype of the
perfect woman this
is highlighted in the
exclamations about
weight and good
look.

It also promotes
social relations ,
because the female
reader will certainly
refer to her friends
all the advices she
took to loose weight
or to make her skin
get younger (for
example).

Generally in these
types of magazine
the audience has
a dominant
reading, that
means that the
messages are fully
accepted and
nearly every
advice is taken.

Very important to
catch the
audience eye is
the cover image ,
that generally
portrays the
stereotyped
woman , (very fit ,
nice body shape ,
bright skin and
generally long and
neat hair

Diversion: through
this genre of
magazine the reader
can escape from the
regular life.

Personal
relations : it fits
into the category
of personal
relations
because the
reader can easily
illustrate all the
news he red
about new
movies and
create a dialogue
referring to
actors or other
films genres.

I think that this

type of
audience has a
negotiated
reading ,
because it
decides if he
accepts or
rejects the
messages
given.
Personal
identity: the
reader can
mirror himself
into the
celebrities
behaviours or
into the actors
actions inside
the movies.

Surveillance : it reports real facts.

Entertainment :it
catches the reader
attention and will to win
prizes or to do buy new
things.

Social interaction:
is present
because , like
nearly every genre
of magazines, the
audience refers the
message received
from the magazine
to other people.

Surveillance: it
fits the category
of surveillance
because it is
reporting of
things that are
real real
homes.
