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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
