SummaryUsing specific rhetorical strategies to persuade and inform is a writing technique that has been used for many decades. The art of rhetoric is often taught in higher education, particularly in persuasive writing classes. However, these strategies are not always used to accomplish what many would consider positive goals. Many rhetorical writing techniques are used to market and sell products. These strategies can “hook” consumers and reel them into buying a product. These strategies are deliberate, but often subtle. Sometimes, it takes in-depth analysis of a text or piece of data to uncover these strategies. It is important to be aware of what is being fed to readers and consumers in every medium. In particular, many studies have been conducted about the use of rhetorical strategies in magazines geared towards teenage girls. However, as recent as the 1980 do, internet magazines, often called e-zines, have drawn an audience of teenage girls that would previously have gotten their advice and entertainment from paper magazines?
