1. Audience Research
Questionnaire
For my media coursework I am required to make a music magazine. But before I make this music
magazine I will need to do some research to find out what my potential audience like/prefer in a
music magazine and the types of music they listen to and also what music they know about. I will
also need to find out about opinions of different music magazines. By filling in this questionnaire you
will help me decide who to aim my music magazine at in terms of the audience I will make it for.
