1. What gender are you?
I chose to send my questionnaire out to equal
amounts of male and female. This allows me to analyse the results of the questionnaire without any bias opinions and it also means the questionnaire can equally represent the population of people I would be sending aiming my magazine at. This will be useful when using the results to make desisions on what contents I include, how I present them and other features of the magazine.2. What age group are you in?
From 30 participants of my questionnaire, 22
were in the age range of 17-21. This is because I handed my questionnaire out in my sixth form where all pupils are between 16-18. This was a convenient place for me to hand out my questionnaires as this the age range I wish to aim my magazine at as I have most knowledge about this market as I fit into it.3. What is your preferred genre of music?
Out of 30 of the participants of my questionnaire 8 chose R&B as their preferred genre of music. I believe this is because this is currently the most mainstreamed music, being the genre we hear most about and hear most in the media. This is because the charts are dominated by R&B music, this could be because it is easiest to produce, but it is also because it ties in closely with Pop music. These two genres together form nearly half of the preferred genres, this again is because it is most mainstream as the UK charts are dominated by this type of music. R&B is closely followed by Drum and Bass, Dubstep and Grime. I think this is because these genres are very popular with males. And as half of the participants of my questionnaires were males, these results will have come from them. It is most popular with males as it is seen as a 'trend' and is heavier music, which is stereotypically preferred by males. Because of R&B being preferred by the participants I am most probably going to use this, and create a music magazine with R&B as it's genre, also because there is not yet one on the market.
4a. Do you read music magazines?
At 80% the majority of the participants of my questionnaire did not read music magazines. I believe this is closely linked with the results of question 3. The music magazine market is largely dominated by the genre of rock as this is a specialist genre that people interested in will be willing to read about. Because of this and the use of other media such as websites, there are not many R&B/Dubstep/Grime magazines that focus on 'current' mainstream music. The lack of people buying them I do not think depends on the demand, I believe there would be demand and there is a gap in the market to fill with this genre.
