1. Nicole Tonge Media Questionnaire Results
Results
I did a questionnaire to find an overall result for what people look for in a music magazine and what
would encourage them to purchase one as well as what they would expect. I asked both males and
females ranging from the age 10 to 50. These results will help me decide what style and genre to use
in my magazine, also how often it would come out and what attracts them.
Gender
Male
Female
I asked more females to males, so I got more results for females which means I am more likely to do
a music magazine which is aimed at females because I have most results for them.
Age
1O-20
21-30
31-40
41-50
Majority of the people who filled out my questionnaire were aged 10-20, this means that I have
most results for a younger audience; this would make it easier for me to create a magazine aimed at
the younger generation.

How much would you be willing
to pay for a music magazine?
£0.01-£2.00
£2.01-£3.00
£3.01-£4.00
On my results no-one would be willing to pay £3.01-£4.00 so this is not a price I would consider for
my magazine, majority of my results were that people were more willing to pay £0.01-£2.00 for a
music magazine, this is closely followed by people willing to pay £2.01-£3.00.
How often would you like a
music magazine to come out?
Weekly
Every 2 weeks
Monthly
My results showed me that an equal amount of people would like a music magazine to come out
weekly and monthly, with not very many people wanting it to come out every 2 weeks. This means I
need to decide which would be more popular, monthly or weekly.
Would you buy a music
magazine?

What attracts you to a magazine?
Layout
Images
Content
Competitions
Free stuff
The most popular thing which attracts people to a magazine is the content inside the magazine, this
means my front cover will have to include information about the content so it attracts people, this is
followed by free stuff which attracts people, and this means I will need to consider giving a free gift
with the first edition in my magazine.
Favourite genre's
Dance
House
Indie
Rap
Dubstep
Pop
Motown
RnB
Rock
Electro
The most popular genres of people I questioned were dance and indie, these music genres are very
popular in modern day music, so I would consider doing my magazine based on one of these genres,
these are followed my rap and pop for being the most popular.
So overall my results have helped and influenced me to choose certain house styles and genres to
feature in my magazine to attract a younger audience as this was the majority of people who
featured in my magazine. My results have also helped me get the basics of my plans complete, such
as how much it will cost and how often my magazine will come, this has been done by looking at
what the people who answered my questionnaire wanted. Also I asked my participants what
interested them in a magazine; therefore there results will help me decide the best things to feature
on the cover to attract them to buy the magazine.
