Advantages and Disadvantages of a Media Questionnaire.
Whilst creating my questionnaire i knew that it would be good for discovering what my target audience would like to see on my magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread.
One advantage is that i could gain accurate results as I chose reliable people to answer it. This was a good way to gain information as I was hoping that the results I got were going to represent the genre of music chosen.
A disadvantage of doing a questionnaire was that there was a possibility that the results that I got would be invalid due to people answering it not taking the questionnaire seriously. Luckily this wasn't the case.
Another advantage was that I was able to give my questionnaire to all age groups so i was able to obtain different opinions from different ages.

The song I have chosen is related to dance music and is similar to that of the contents I will include within my magazine. Calvin Harris is considered as a dance artist as his music is most commonly found in a club being blasted out of speakers to the point that you can feel the beats through the floor
What is Media?
Web 2.0 is the term which is being used to describe the way in which the world wide web is now currently developing. 2.0 refers to the second generation of web based feeds and communities.
Mediation is the process in which a media text represents an idea, issue or event to us. This is a useful word as it suggests the way in which things undergo change in the process of being acted upon by the media.
The media is strictly regulated in countries such as Africa, China and Ethiopia, so that the government can control what is being portrayed to the public. Although some may see this as a bad way to influence the way in which people learn from media. Many people can be hypnotise into thinking the wrong thing through the way in which some government leaders in restricted countries put across in the media.
The term, "media products are shared" Means that the mass audience towards media becomes part of our everyday lives. In influences the way that we speak, and the things that we do day to day. Even people that don't associate themselves with certain media texts will still know to a degree, catch phrases and sayings related to the texts. Eg. television catch phrases. Many phrases that come from TV or films are often heard on the streets said by mainly young people and therefore influence the way in which people talk to other people.
Media convergence means when different types of media come together and in many cases interlink with each other. For example, TV, music, newspapers and magazine used to be very separate from each other and weren't often associated with each other, however now you can get access to all these things on something as easy as the internet and are now very often mixed together now.
The media is very important in todays society, because it is a very important way to communicate. Over time the media has progressed excessively due to an advance in modern day technology.
