Sport Fishing Magazine

         People who read Sport Fishing magazine have one common interest- fishing. The audience of mid-aged men shouldn't have a difficult time reading one of these magazines considering it was written at a 12-year-old's reading capacity (according to the fry graph for Estimating Reading Ages.). Adding to that, there was a ratio of 5 to 3 for advertisement versus content space. More than half of each page was tying to sell or promote something. these ads were not irrelevant, though annoying, they all added to the content of the magazine. My magazine choice seemed low on the Reading Ages graph, and my predictions were correct. When I asked my fellow classmates how there research went, most magazines were at higher reading levels. Sports Illustrated and 17 Magazine had up to a 4 years greater difference than Sport Fishing. This could be true because fishing is a sport that doesn't involve a higher economic statues to play- therefore the people who buy these magazines must not be among the most intelligent people. To read The Sport Fishing magazines it does not require much knowledge to read, only interest in fishing.
