News Article
The first thing I needed to ask myself is, what is the significant audience to this article? Being that I am doing an article on lyrics in music, I want to know what is the most listened to at what age group and what is the least listened to and vice versa. I came to find so far that my target market is mostly High School and College students from the age of 16 to 21. I figure if I were to come up with at least a few prime examples of lyrics in the past effecting teens and students then it would portray my audience to pertain to my article. The more eye-catching I can make it the better. Other articles I have read in the past on similar topics were either good in a sense that they had recent factual information or bad because there information was just too outdated. I am in the process of making sure that my information and knowledge on the subject is clearly up to date and not past events. The research itself has been easy. There has been a lot of stories pop up on incidents where lyrics supposedly sparked an individual to go out and commit a crime. What I do with that kind of information is vital because I do not want it to sound like I agree but at the same time I do not want to disagree. I am currently trying to figure out a way to present my info in a sense that both sides can take word from it.

I'm not really sure what your argument is. Are you saying that because of certain lyrics, teens act out or are you more focused on the age group that is effected by some of the music today? Teens are effected by t.v. and music today and I think that this is a great topic. I am really passionate about music and the words are a big part. Good or bad music can affect the way a person feels.
