Looking at different magazines: Shout

The first magazine that i am going to look at is Shout. this magazine is a little like mine will become in that it is directed at pre-teens (aswell as slightly older teenagers). The magazine has many different articles and features throughout the pages, including singers actors and true stories written in by the readers themselves. Shout is a fairly well priced (£2.30) magazine.
It is mainstream and would only include globally famous people and artists signed to major labels...
It is definitely aimed at younger people, we can tell this by the colours, fonts and language used. Shout would be a good magazine to get ideas and tips from for my magazine. the readers of this magazine would be young and love Miley Cyrus, High School Musical and everything Disney. The exact age group would be around 9-14, female, reasonably middle class to upper.
Although this is a young teen magazine, we can say that the readers are most probably hedonists, with parents probably being traditionalists or post-materialists, and they would probably check the magazine throughout before giving it to their 'sweet' child, to make sure no sexual or offensive content is inside. With the readers being young people, school age, we can't really give them a jicnars scale reading, but their parents would be from C2 up to a B.
