What did your target audience think?

Feedback: - During a media showcase held at my school, it allowed me to let others view my work and get feedback. I created a questionnaire with the following questions:
  1. Do you think that my newspaper resembles that of a real local newspaper? If so, why?
  2. Would you buy/read this newspaper? If so, why?
  3. Is there anything you would change/alter?
  4. What do you think of the pictures?
  5. Does it read like a newspaper?
  6. What do you think of the adverts? Do they grab your attention?
  7. What do you think of the title and slogan?
  8. Any other comments?

These questions allowed me to focus on people who live in the local area and have all experienced newspapers at first hand.

1) Real media conventions?

  • Layout - photos in place/ captions etc
  • Well laid out and detailed
  • Has what a newspaper should have
  • format is good, and the stories seem relevant
  • layout and pictures are accurate.

2) Buy/read?

  • Would read the newspaper as it is informative and detailed
  • interesting local news, accessible
  • it looks well informed and entertaining
  • covers local stories in detail
  • it seems more fun than a standard local newspaper

3) Change/Alter?

  • picture layout
  • pictures could be slightly smaller, as they take up a large amount of space
  • the advert (top right) doesn't look professional
  • put borders around photos - looks more professional

4) Pictures?

  • Nice and Cheerful, illustrates points well
  • good quality and good compositions
  • good - effective
  • they are chosen well, and make the cover stand out
  • good but maybe too many of them

5) Read like real stories?

  • Good stories
  • seems very realistic and typical of real paper
  • The bottom article is in a slightly odd place

6) Adverts?

  • the adverts are effective and bold
  • good logos and text
  • the adverts are each distinctive
  • The Mulberry Post advert is great (concerning the radio advert)

7) Mast head and slogan?

  • It looks unique and stylish
  • good use of photos/font
  • nice using once again 'community'
  • I feel the font is sligthly dull but like the picture
  • simple and to the point

8) Any other comments?

  • Is very professional - Well Done
