3. What Have You Learned From Your Audience Feedback?

 

I first did my audience feed back by creating a questionnaire using Microsoft Word, which I then printed and handed round to my class mates, who are also my target audience age group. I asked them to tick the 2 they most preferred. As you can see from the results, Eastcote Echo was the most preferred. Yet after discussing with my teachers we felt that we could think of something more eye catching and interesting, which is when we came up with H.A SIX. As young people associate people from areas by there postcode and also as we felt it was unique.

I then did more audience feedback back by doing a questionnaire  for my target audience by asking which font would most appeal and attract them for the masthead of my newspaper. I did this by downloading various fonts from a website called "Dafont.com" which I felt would most appeal towards my  target audience, I then used Microsoft  Word to type print them. I then handed them out to 8 of  my class mates and asked them to tick which one they  preferred the most.

  Here are the results I got back from my

 questionnaire on fonts for the masthead.

I also did some audience feed back doing a questionnaire to my target audience by asking what would interest them in a local newspaper and what would convince them to buy them, I did this with a recording device which I then downloaded on sound cloud and embedded a link on my blog. I have also had audience feed back from my teachers throughout creating on my newspaper and also other class mates, especially as there age group is my target audience, such as what they felt I should change and improve.

These are the Recordings from Soubndcloud I embedded on  my blog.

The Recording device I used to record my interviews - Zoom recorder.

Here are the questions and  answers  which I asked .

These are my feedback questions I passed round my class to ask my target audience what they think about my newspaper:

These are the answers I got back from my feedback questionnaire.

Overall I found my feedback extremely helpful. Especially as my class mates are my target audience, it was very easy for me to ask one of them there opinion on something and whether it would appeal to them or not. I also found my teachers feedback very helpful as they were able to guide me in the right direction and gave me different ideas on the various ways I can get audience feed back from my target audience.
