- A questionnaire was sent out equally to males and females, but more females responded, suggesting the target audience should be females. However, the questionnaire did not specify the genre of jazz/blues music, which is generally more popular with middle-aged men. - The questionnaire responses are not an accurate representation because it only asked the sender's peers, who are younger, while the target is older adults. - The most popular music genres according to respondents were R&B and pop, which are influenced by top radio stations, but these genres are not the target for a jazz/blues magazine aimed at older audiences.
