To gain an idea of what is needed within this news website I decided to carry out a small questionnaire to a couple of the younger generation so that I can get an idea of what they want out of a news website.
They will all be closed questions so they will be easy to understand and give feedback on.
Appendix 2, 3 and 4 are the results of the three questionnaires.
Below is the questionnaire that was constructed to gain information that could help me with my project.
