Questionnaire Review

Lilla Jacks Miss Bond Tuesday 11th November


From my research I have been able to sum up what 8-15year olds like listening to and what sort of thing they generally like doing.
The majority of girls liked male solo artists and a common name which appeared on many was Chris Brown. Not many people wrote down bands which I did find surprising. This has influenced me in choosing the image for my front cover as being an image of a solo artist who is a male.
A lot of the youngsters don’t buy many things like DVDs or CDs due to the fact their mum and dad get it for them as ell as giving them a certain amount each week. This gives the impression that price is very important it can not be too expensive as it won’t get bought. Also it needs to be good value for money and something that will appeal to parent and ensure they wouldn’t mind getting the magazine for there child.
Most of 8-15year olds spend there time watching the TV which shows where they are mainly influenced. I want to change that and give them a wider view of life and music though my magazine.
The internet was too very popular according to the questionnaire. This ensures me that I could include certain aspects involving the internet and the download chart and quizzes where you enter online.
A large amount of children/teenagers wrote really expensive free gifts with the magazine, so different ideas have arisen. So maybe not having a gift every issue only once a month to make the gift worth it. Or increase the price or just give them a cheaper gift that is actually grateful.
Children programs such as Jake and Josh were always included when asked about there favorite TV shows which leads me to think that articles should be written about children musical like High School Musicals and Hannah Montana.
Having this research has helped me to gather information on what children actually want from a music magazine. It has helped me to see how they see certain issues and made me much more aware of what should and shouldn’t be included.
