My second editors letters analysis

This editors letter is different from other letters because it begins and ends with speech marks would show that this is set up as a speech instead of a letter.
When she says that ' I've recently heard from some girls who were concerned that we'd strayed from our promise to show real girls as they really are.' This quote shows that this letter is very similar to an agony aunt letter addressing issues and insecurities.
This letter also makes the target audience very clear because insecurities about the definition of 'real women' usually occur at teenage years going onto early 20s.
This letter is trying to highlight the objective of this particular issue, which is 'learning how to live with yourself', creating a body peace treaty.

This editors letter tries to involve the target audience which is females aged from 25-50 because it is about women balancing work life with their family life. When you first see the page 'Welcome' is written in huge letters to capture the attention of the reader. The letters are also smoothly going on to the next so it does try to make the reader comfortable.
When she starts by saying that ' As every mother knows,' this shows us that is a letter that she is not writing just for her benefit but she is talking about the experience of other mothers that were in her position that help involve them and keeping their interest.
The editor has also included he fact that 'we have interviewed a truly brave women, Zoe Savage,one of a small number of sargents in the Royal Artillery, who happens to be a mother of two.' This sentence shows us that his magazine isn't just a fashion magazine as the images of the dress and accessories suggest but has an inspirational story.
The mid shot going up of the editor with an open book shows that she was reading with in turn shows us that she is indirectly trying to tell the audience to read the letter.
