Cosmo Baby!

I am a faithful reader of Cosmopolitan. I buy the newest issue the minute it hits the stands and dedicate plenty of time to reading every article that the magazine has to offer. What amazes me though, is the masses of people, especially women, that are devoted to this magazine. Almost every one of my friends either owns or has read the latest issue of Cosmo. The magazine’s primary target audience is women in their late teens, 20’s and 30’s.
Cosmopolitan appeals to so many people because the articles in the magazine are relatable and offer advice that people are afraid to ask for. Yet, it would not be appropriate for younger ages because of the sexual content that has come to be expected in each issue. It touches on subjects that many women like to discuss, such as fashion, gossip, and sex. Cosmopolitan is known for giving advice that many women inquire about, but typically are embarrassed to ask. The articles are captivating because they relate to women’s issues and personal lives.
The impact that this magazine has on people is incredible. Not only are the articles insightful, but also the advertisements are extremely persuading. Cosmopolitan is looked to for advice and has a reputation for knowing what is “in”. Therefore, the ads in Cosmo can influence its readers to buy the latest products that are being advertised. The typical ads consist of clothes, make up and hair products, accessories, and woman necessities, which all appeal to women’s needs. Cosmopolitan has an irreplaceable affect on society and its readers. It may not be the most educational magazine, but it can be insightful and is extremely entertaining.
