Editors Letter Analysis

The magazine ‘The Edit’ mainly appeals to higher class females. The editor’s letter also appeals to the same target audience of matured females, specifically within ages 24+ as it is a fashion based magazine. The editor uses fashion terminology like ‘retro references’, ‘soft fabrics’ etc.

 

 

The editor gives the impression of a friendly person, giving out fashion advice to people she supposedly knows well. The editor allows the audience of the magazine to relate to models of females used in magazines, which also abides with the uses and gratifications theory (allowing the audience to relate) The editors letter includes a photo of the editor which makes the letter seem more personal.

The language used is encouraging, phrases like ‘’the new luxe is in feeling good about yourself’’, this helps encourage self confidence in females given that they are continuously demoralized due to the major sex appeal for females in the media industry. The editor focuses in giving fashion tips to help females that are targeted by the magazine, to be stylish and fit into the fashion industry.

The editor aims to make the audience of the magazine feel comfortable and for her to be seen as approachable as possible. This helps set a friendly and accepting vibe for the magazine which is picked up by the readers automatically. The edit seems like a casual magazine, (yet within the fashion genre) the way it is laid out and the contents of the magazine aim to help relax the audience. The females that are used on the front covers and the clothes used also suggest whom it may appeal too, all females over the ages of 18 could possibly be attracted by a magazine of this sort. The editor makes everyone feel welcome and doesn’t discriminate against any reader which is important. It is very important for the editor to create a relationship with her frequent readers.
