Magazines Aimed At Teenage Girls
I have chosen five teen girl magazines: 'Bliss' 'Top of the Pops' 'Mizz' 'Sugar' and 'Shout' that are aimed at young girls in the UK as i have chosen British magazines. Teen magazines are aimed at teens so i think the content should be suitable for teens. The first magazine in going to talk about is 'Shout' as i think this is the most unsuitable magazine of them all because of what is in there '8 steps to kissable lips' for girls that read this magazine, im guessing 10 to 14 year old there is quite a wide range and changes of a girl in those age. with a sub-heading with this on which is the most noticeable and eye catching with the bold number 8 and the different colours and fonts. There is another heading in the bottom that says 'what boys really think about us' it isn't as noticeable as the other heading but it is still on the front cover, i think this story that is in the magazine to make girl feel really self conscious about them selfs because as teenager your always thinking of what other people are thinking of you and when magazines like this want you to know what boys think about you i think its adds more pressure to that teenage girl. As i am being a big fan of the american TV show 'Gossip Girl' i started watching it when i was 14/15 because that when it started, but when i did watch it i only just thought it was suitable it is '15' certificate anyway so having one of the actors of that TV show on there is advertising and promoting young teenage girls to what the show when really its not suitable.
The next magazine i saw something that i didn't feel should go in a teen magazine 'flirt with fashion, be the girl all the lads fancy' with this i think there wanting girl to dress really provocative to get the boys attention. there the two magazines where things stood out to me as not suitable for a teen magazine.
But the other magazines i read as a young teenager and thought they included the right content for young girls magazines.
