Change in Representation

After looking over my previous blog posts and taking time to decide on what magazine I will create, I do not think the best representation will be of those in high-class anymore. Instead, I have chosen to switch my representation to those in the middle-class category. Since I have chosen to create a healthy food magazine and my target audience is adults in their early years, those in that age range are either finishing their degrees or starting out in their careers. Consequently, they are starting to make their own money and trying to save money when they can. This magazine can help them learn about cooking as well as have them keep money in their pocket as food can get expensive. 

According to a United States Consensus, there's a big difference between middle and high class citizens. Middle class citizens earn between $45,153 and $138,460 a year and make up 45% of the United States population. High class citizens earn at least $150,000 per year and make up 15% of the United States population. This change in representation will let my magazine will reach a larger audience. It'll also help them as not all people can afford what high-class individuals can.
