Discuss how people and lifestyles are represented in the extract.
Refer to stereotypes in your examples
Use examples from the extract
The people represented in the extract are teenage celebrities such as Selena Gomez, Tulisa Contastavlos, one direction, and Justin Bieber. This means the magazine is aimed at teenage girls as there is a lot of gossip for example "Selena Talks Taylor's" and "Arrested at school: Handcuffed - just for doodling on a desk". The magazine also focuses on fascinating stories about ordinary people as this appeals to young readers who are looking for interesting stories.
This magazine extract uses stereotypes of teenage girls as it is trying to appeal to them with subjects that they think they would be interested in for example celebrity gossip, teen drama (such as the vampire diaries ), and other topics that use a direct mode of address to appeal to the reader such as " 5 boys you'll date and why you'll dump them".
The representation is that people on the cover of the magazine are always someone who the audience should aspire to be like, but the models or people on the cover are always white even if they are a different skin colour. The picture gets changed so that they are white.
