LIIAR:

Language: The language is relevant to the intended audience, or who the magazine is going to appeal to. The masthead has to be relevant to the reader, like the magazine Secondary Teachers, "Secondary Teachers" is extremely relevant to the occupation of the intended reader, a secondary school teacher. The language is also relevant to the genre of the magazine. The language on the cover and in the actual inside content has to be appealing to all readers and possible new customers. This information is key to a good magazine, as the wrong language for a genre of magazine may result in loss of appeal to the current market. I will have to do research into this at a later date when producing my college magazine.-

Institution: Unknown.

Ideology: The ideology of a college magazine are the values. For "secondary teachers" the values are teaching and education. When i produce my magazine i will have to research into ideology for the genre of my college magazine, and the audience it is aimed at.-

Audience: The audience is very important, as this is who you will be selling your magazine to, who it will be aimed at. Without an audience the magazine is pointless. The cover of the magazine has to be presented in a way to attract the audience. Images, language and layout is all key to attracting the right audience for your magazine. This again will be something I am going to research for my magazine.-

Representation: Representation is shown throughout media in many ways. Everything is represented my something, a way it works, or something it does distinctively. In a college magazine, students will be portrayed as good hard working students. Not misbehaving bad students.
