2. Survey: Information collection
• To collect information I have created a survey, this survey consists
of very specific questions that will help me to get an idea of what
teenagers specifically want to see. These questions are narrow and
specific to allow me to get the information I directly need. An
example would be something like what is your favourite source of
social media?
• This survey consists of 7 questions that are centered around media
in general. However, the first question is on gender (simple male or
female question so that those taking the test remain anonymous)
with a few questions relating to my work specifically toward the
end of the survey. The questions will be in bold white and the
answers highlighted green for ease of use when referring to the
answers given or skim reading them.
