Analysis of my questionnaire

Questionnaire time!

After creating my questionnaire I have narrowed down and established what my audience for my paper will be. I have researched existing local newspapers whilst taking features from national newspapers such as the 'i' and basic knowledge from tabloids such as the Mirror and the Sun.

It is important to not just solely focus on the Evening Post as my only study as the influence from others can visually form my paper however the reader interest is crucial to the magazine therefore if they like or dislike an aspect of papers, why include it?

I have carried out my questionnaire to see the results!

How old are you? A lot of people I asked to fill out my question sheet were in the 22-50 category, perhaps a primary audience of the newspaper industry. I also asked several people aged 10-21 as this audience is similar to me and offers an array of views on the paper that are different to mine.
