Paragraph 4/5
Target audience of teen dramas are essentially teenagers aged between 13 to 19 and secondary audience of 20-25.

What do the target audience look for in teen American drama media texts?
Escapism (90210- the luxurious setting, being the most glamorous post code in the world and Glee allows the audience to escape with the uplifting songs and sense of being able to achieve no matter one skin colour (Ethnography) or appearance),

Entertainment (humour- innuendo, crude humour, humour assocaioted with sex and teenagers)

Pop culture, celebrity culture (cameo appearance in glee and 90210 such Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian)

Paragraph 5/6
Why are the ideologies presented in contemporary American teen drama constructed like that?
To appeal to their target audience
Sexual urges
Wanting to be accepted
Wanting to escape from their own life


Address the two articles I found
‘’Being good looking seems to be important’
‘’ Glee also seems to celebrate the fact that it is multicultural’’
‘’ Also glee ‘ditches’ realism in favour of escapism’’
