Help Me Research my Media Studies Coursework (Making a Magazine – Questionnaire)

As part of my Media Studies A Level we have to create a magazine. However, at first we have to make a questionnaire so we know who to aim it at or what they are interested in. I’ve made a questionnaire here below and would be very appreciative of any input you can give.

Don’t worry it is completely anonymous and we do not require your email, it just might be helpful. Also sign up to our site, like it on facebook and all that social media palaver.

(Apparently there has been some issues with this in Chrome. We’ve tested it in Safari only. If you can let us know if there are still issues in the comments or if it works with whatever browser you’re using then that would be useful.)
