The document is a questionnaire for research into the target audience for a new hip-hop music magazine. It contains 13 questions about the respondent's age, gender, music interests, spending habits, preferred magazine features, and current music magazine purchasing behaviors. The respondent will use the answers to learn that the primary target audience is 14-16 year olds, most listeners prefer hip-hop and R&B music, and the top feature interests are gossip and the inclusion of freebies like mix tapes or accessories.

13. Questionnaire Analysis
As part of my research for the audience for my hip-hop music magazine I had to do a
questionnaire for a random selection of students aged from 14-20.
From my questionnaires I have found that most of my audience are ranged from 14-16 years
old. The gender of my questionnaire is fair as 15 of them are male and 15 of them are
female. Half of the audience said that they listened to the hip-hop genre the most, 12
listened to RnB, 3 of them listened to rock and no- one listened to neither funky house or
garage. Most of the audience said that the most they would spend on a music magazine
would range from £1- £2. Most of the audience preferred to have gossip as features in the
magazine. When I asked the audience what freebies they would like to have half of the
audience chose their own freebies (their own ideas). The majority of the audience go to
concerts or giggs occasionally. And finally I asked the audience how often do they buy music
magazine most of them said rarely.
