Representation

My magazine’s main aim was to break the stereotype that men are dominant in the world of soul music, and by naming the magazine Soul Man and putting a woman on the front cover, I am breaking the patriarchal connotations that the magazine name has. I think that my magazine represents young people in a positive way, as my contents page is dominated by young people, but my magazine is not completely youthful as it has an article about Nina Simone on the contents page. The ideology my magazine is trying to portray is that soul music is not about one type of person; it is about different types of people mixing together.
