Internet research

From my research I have found out that mostly audience for music magazines are young people both sex around 16-25, which I am targeting for my own magazine. I have made a little questionnaire for my classmates and the results show that 80% can't live without music. It is an important part of their lifes, it helps them to relax, control their stress or just enjoy it. 

Modern technology changed our life a lot. Even to find more about music people use internet more often instead of bying music magazines. But still they are a lot of people who prefer to read magazines. Let's think why people don't like reading magazines. Some of them are expensive around £3.00 and people don't want to pay that much. But from answers that show that they buy them I made little analyze. 

 

Which music magazine are you buying the most?

1. NME (29%)
2. Kerrang (18%)
3. Q (11%)
4. Rolling Stones (14%) 
5. Metal Hammer (7%)
6. Others (21%)
