Podcast Transcript:
Interviewer: Welcome to our podcast! Today, we have Janaysa Dorcin here to discuss some aspects of the most recent issue of her women’s magazine, Divine Woman.
[0:07]
Janaysa: Thank you! I’m really excited to be here and talk about my magazine.
[0:11]
Interviewer: We’re glad to have you! We had our listeners submit questions for us to ask you today, so we’ll open up with one. You often talk about how much you care about your readers and their enjoyment of your content.
[0:21]
Janaysa: Yes. My audience plays a huge role in developing spreads and new issues.
[0:25]
Interviewer: Well, how does your magazine engage with audiences?
[0:29]
Janaysa: That’s a great question. To start, I want to establish my target audience. The target audience of Divine Woman is women aged 18 to 25. This is because I have a deep understanding of the things that young women experience, since I'm one too. There are many magazines and other products that target this demographic, but very few of them are created by women who can relate to that demographic.
[0:51]
Interviewer: So, you create media products for young women with the intention of connecting with them personally?
[0:56]
Janaysa: Yes, exactly! Connecting with my audiences is my top priority. You can see this intention in all the little aspects of Divine Woman. Everything, from the color schemes to the articles topics, is tailored to my audience, and serves to make them feel seen and understood.
[1:13]
Interviewer: How so?
[1:14]
Janaysa: Well, for one, the “soft-life” aesthetic is very trendy right now, and I wanted my color scheme to emulate that aesthetic. Also, my fonts are meant to feel more relaxed yet polished, much like the aesthetic. The most important part of my magazine, my feature story, highlights how a young woman expresses her love for fashion in her daily life and is also relatable to my target audience.
[1:37]
Interviewer: How is your feature article relatable specifically to your target audience? People outside of your target audience may also have passion for fashion.
[1:45]
Janaysa: As most people know, fast fashion and social media influencing are on the rise. Many young women struggle to navigate how to blend their personal style with these current fashion trends. The story, whose focuses on a young woman’s experiences, as well as the rest of the magazine, helps these young women understand they're not alone in their struggles and desires in fashion, and it provides ways to elevate their practices. Other readers who aren't my target demographic may also relate, but the foremost intention is to reach my target audience, and Divine Woman does that.
[2:19]
Interviewer: I love your care for young women! It’s inspiring. My next question has to do with distribution. How would the magazine be distributed as a real media text?
[2:29]
Janaysa: First, I want to emphasize that though I have a clear target audience, Divine Woman can be read by anyone interested in women's fashion. The magazine would be distributed online or as physical products. Most young women, and young people in general, consume media through online platforms, which means that my magazine would have the greatest reach using this method. It would be available to purchase on the magazine’s website, DivineWoman.com, and through other online book retailers. However, it would also be distributed as physical copies in supermarkets, bookstores, and newsstands.
[3:03]
Interviewer: That’s amazing. Well listeners, this is the end of today’s episode. Thank you, Janaysa, for coming in today. Thank you for tuning in, and we will see you next week!
