TASK 9: AUDIENCE EXPECTATIONS For this task, I conducted an online interview, taking voice recordings of 4 people's answers. I asked the question 'what would you want or expect to see in a current affairs magazine aimed at young adults?' Below is a youtube link to the answers I received. How can I apply this to my magazine? These answers have reinforced my plan to create the following segments: 1) Mental health -  Advice, stories of development and healthy coping mechanisms 2) The environment, sustainability & ethical issues - This covers fashion, animals and workers conditions, and how you can help 3) Feature articles based around the views and opinions of teenagers , these will change per issue - e.g. issue 1 is about teenagers and the pandemic, issue 2 is about POC teenagers 4) Politics - Somewhat in-depth current political issues, providing readers a brief comprehension of events such as Brexit, capitalism and socialist movements  5) Lifestyle - A segment titled
