What have you learned

from your audience

feedback?Eloise Clark

In order for me to understand how effective my work was,

I set out to gain some information on what people thought

of the product and the final product.

I did this because I wanted to know if I had made my

newspaper appealing enough for people to buy.

I started by setting up some questions I wanted to ask

people:

1.) Do you like reading newspapers?

2.) How often do you read your local newspaper?

3.) What do you like to see in your local newspaper?

4.) What do you want to see less of in your local

newspaper?

I used Facebook to get answers to my questions – this

way I had access to a range of people of different ages.

After gaining this information I was able to get a better

understanding of what people wanted to see in a local

newspaper:

• Positive things about schools and children

• Local News

• Charity

This then inspired my article topics, as well as the style of the

newspaper and the adverts included.

I put together a

rough layout

and then

started making

my newspaper

I then posted my final products on Facebook again to gain

feedback on what I had created to see if it looked like a

professional piece of work.

Most the comments I got were positive. The layout, use of

colour, pictures and the articles were highly praised. People

also liked the use of adverts

Some points were raised that my newspaper is too positive

as I only had one article that was a little bit negative but not a

serious issue.

After I created my final piece, I did not change much even

after the feedback I gained as it was mostly positive. I did not

change the tone of my articles as I thought it could be

something that would appear later on in the newspaper (if I

had created more pages).
