Research on Regional Magazines



Regional Magazines:

Regional Magazines are based and published in a certain region of the UK and focus heavily on events, services and news from their particular area. There are about 1500 regional newspapers in the UK, each focusing on a different part of the UK. Most regions will have multiple magazines, each specializing in a specific subject/category, e.g. hobbies, news, travel, etc.


The main readers of regional magazines are middle-aged. This target audience is chosen as they typically have an interest in local events and community news, which the magazines can offer. Regional magazines tend to talk about culture and society, which is more likely to be read by older adults than it is children/teens. The magazines also have certain aesthetic features that make them more appealing to the middle-aged, like covers that include appealing landscapes and fonts/colours that are calming and mild.
