Study week assignment - Make your own newspaper

1.     How has the questionnaire helped to determine content for your paper?

    it has given me a wide range of answers and the quantitive questions have allowed me to gain an average of the results received 

2.     Was the data easy to understand?

    it was easy as I phrased the questions well, and that allowed me to get direct and detailed responses that were easy to understand.

3.     Did any of the results surprise you?

    There were a couple of answers for the price of the paper which were higher than expected, which ultimately increased the average price of the paper.

4.     How did you use a range of open and closed questions?

   i used closed questions more as i wanted to direct the answers to get a better result in the end.

5.     How did you use a range of qualitative and quantitative questions?

    an example of a qualitative question is 'What interests you?', alternately an example of a quantitive question, is 'how much would you pay for this paper'.  

6.     Were your questions relevant and useful to your product?

   They were very relevant for my product as it gave me plenty of details and bases to go by when designing my newspaper and working out the price of the paper.

7.     Could you have done this more effectively? If so how?

  I think i could have included more questions to gain a better range of results.

1.     How have you tried to use a range of secondary sources?

     i have used newspapers themselves to look at the type of font used, and the layout of the paper so i can gauge a rough idea of where to place certain things.

2.     Why have you decided to use the sources that you have?

    Because then i can increase the reliability of the research

3.     How reliable / useful have they been?

   Very, due to finding repeated results on various forms of research so therefore increasing its reliability

4.     What has your secondary research shown you?

   that the layout for newspapers are both varied and quite similar, with colour and font along with the logo being the main difference with the use of colour and contrast to increase the papers' readability.
