This is the first graph from my Audience Questionnaire. When asking a group of 12 people whether or not they would read a sports newspaper this is the result i got. As you can see no one from my group said they wouldn't read a sports only newspaper, however 2 people said they would consider reading it based on articles in the newspaper. A massive 10 people said they would read the newspaper if it was sport only, so this shows to me that the majority of a sample group would enjoy reading a local sports newspaper.The opening question in my questionnaire was the 'What is your age?' question. It is an important question as it provides me with knowledge to know what range of ages are taking part in the questionnaire. The ages on this questionnaire have quite a long range. This works into my advantage as i now have a broad and wide audience to be targeting. Once i have asked the age and gender you will then know who will be interested in reading your paper or watching your music video.
Before i asked whether or not the people would read a local sports newspaper, i first cut the original group for 20 to 12. I did this by asking if people read local newspapers to start with. I continued the questionnaire with the 12 who didn't say they don't read newspapers, but looking back on it i should have kept them in the questionnaire as it would have tried to change their minds and actually read a local newspaper.
Here is a copy of my full questionnaire.
