How to Analyze a Print Publication
History of Creation and Development of the Publication
Starting with history is as easy as pie! Choose a publication that interests you and find the necessary information on the internet. It's important to remember that you are future journalists, so don't get carried away with copy-pasting, but try to rephrase the information skillfully.
Market Positioning Concept
Find out who is the editor-in-chief and founder of the publication. Usually, by studying the history and interests of these people, you can understand what views and concepts the magazine or newspaper reflects.
Goals and Objectives of the Publication
Carefully look through several issues of the publication. Pay attention to the topics covered by the authors, what they tell the reader about, and for what purpose. By the way, advertising placement is also a kind of task for the publication, as it acts as an advertising platform and earns significant money on it.
Professional and Aesthetic Standards
Assess the quality of layout, paper, the nature of the publication, the style of photographs, as well as information about how articles of various topics are designed. All this is important for analysis.
Nature of Informing. Type of Journalism
A culinary magazine will publish recipes, a style magazine - branded item photos, and a political newspaper - in-depth analytical articles and extensive photo reports.
Editorial Board, Journalistic Staff, Internal Structure
This is obvious - open the front pages and start exploring!
Characteristics of the Publication's Target Audience
Based on the format of the magazine and its content, you can always give an approximate portrait of the "typical reader". The target audience of "Mursilka", for example, will remain children, while Esquire, of course, writes for men with good income. The fact that women and hipsters read it doesn't change the essence - Esquire absolutely writes for men.
Topics of Materials
This information is easy to obtain by reading the table of contents at the beginning of the magazine.
Design
Any publication strives to always adhere to its corporate style, however, there are magazines that use "seasonal" design. In this section, you can talk about how the cover of the publication has evolved over time.
Circulation, Volume, Periodicity, Geography of Distribution, Price
All clearly and to the point.
