Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) is a famous young actress/songwriter/singer. Even though she started out in the United States she has become extremely famous in the UK too and she has many young fans (ranging from young children to teenagers). This may be because Miley used to be just like them and it is every girls dream (at even one point in their life) and her fans look upto her as they want to be like her.
In my music magazine i am going to create a young singer like Miley to feature in my magazine as i personally think if a young famous singer like Miley was on the front cover of a music magazine today then teenagers would want to buy it and read about it.
In a media saturated society a famous face instantly engages a target audience. This cultural cult of celebrity means that young people identify with specific figures in the public eye. Moreover, using a celebrity instantly recognised by my target audience will mean they want to engage with the magazine further and will identify with it.
Thoughtful post and good application of media concepts.
