News Package - Survey Responses

I got lots of re-occurring answers and they tended to put very basic information and simple answers like “yes” and “no”, and never went into detail.

I didn’t find anything surprising in my answers, because I knew some people would not take my survey seriously and have just responded as a joke.

My first question I asked “What sort of facilities would you expect from a national lottery funded project?” – I was going to see what people thought the money should be spent on and what they would like the money to be spent on. One response said “modern and up to date”.

My second question I asked was “How long would a news package need to be to keep you interested?”- I wanted to see how long I should keep my interview and vox pops so people would not get bored I just got answers like “3 mins, 5 mins, and 10 seconds”.

My third question I asked was "What kind of information would you like to know about the funding? e.g. Wheres the money going?" - I asked this question to see what people would actually like to know about the money and what actually happens because sometimes people wonder about where and what happens the the money. I got responses like "basic information" and the same question as the example.

The fourth question I asked was "Would you prefer visuals to help you in a news package?" - I asked this question to see if some people would like to see the information instead of me or someone just saying it out loud. I maybe should have reworded the question as I just got one word answers like "yes" and "no".

My final question I asked was "Would you know visit a place which has had funding and if so why not before?" - I asked this question to see if people would actually visit a place which has had funding what might mean for companies which get funding. The responses I got were basic answers like "Yes because I like to see where the money was invested" and just "No".

This information will help my news package because it will tell me what people may want to hear about and what kind of information they and the style people would like my news package to be.The elements I would change would be the wording of the question and some of the words as some people may not understand what the would means or never have heard that word before.
