1. Analysing my results
The first question
on my survey was
asking the public
which gender
they are, as 80%
of the people I
asked were
female I will cater
more for the
female needs in
the newspaper
and I believe the
article on Dogs
trust will attract females as they are generally more caring and nurturing. The
rest of my newspaper will cater for both sexes.
The second question I
asked my audience was
which age group did
they fall into, half of my
audience were 18-24
but this is because I
asked some of my
classmates to fill in my
survey, the other half
are adults and this is
who I will be aiming my
newspaper at.
2. As 100% of the people I
asked are employed I will
not include any job ads in
my newspaper as this
would not be relevant to
my audience.
As 40% of the people I
asked don’t read
newspapers I will try to
make my newspaper
interesting and
therefore change their
mind and persuade
them to read my
newspaper and enjoy
it.
3. This question is asking
people how many
newspapers on average a
week they would read, the
people I asked have mostly
answered 1-3 as they are a
younger audience and
probably don’t read
newspapers that often. The
people who answered 4-7
would be the older people
who answered the survey.
I have asked the
question which types
of newspaper do you
prefer, I have asked
this because I need
to decide if I am
creating a
broadsheet or a
tabloid newspaper.
As the results
suggest 70% prefer
tabloid I will create a
tabloid newspaper,
however it will not contain stories about celebrities and scandals on the front
as 30% have said they prefer broadsheet I will include more informative
stories.
4. This question is asking
which aspects of a
newspaper people
would like to see, as
you can see news and
celebrities were the
most popular however
as I would prefer to
write informative
articles and not
advertise celebrities I
will include more news
stories. I will also
include an aspect about
sport as for a
Manchester newspaper
football is iconic of
Manchester and
therefore should be
included.
This question focuses
on the house style of
my newspaper as I
need to decide which
colours I should use, as
black white red and
blue got the most votes
I will use these a lot on
my newspaper. I will
also use small bits of
orange and yellow.
5. This question focuses on
the layout of my
newspaper which is an
important aspect, as
80% would like to see a
balance of pictures and
text I will take this into
account when creating
my newspaper and will
not make the
newspaper text heavy or
picture heavy but make
them balanced.
6. This question is asking how
much would a person pay for a
newspaper, as 40% have
answered 0-50p I will price my
newspaper at 50p.
