Talk:ED/Proposed questionnaire

Comments by Steve

I have made some suggested changes here:

PERC is considering the possibility of some changes to the look of the Peace and Environment News. Before embarking on this course of action we would like to obtain feedback from the readership.

The objective of the changes that we are considering is to improve the rate at which people pick up the PEN in public places (i.e. community centres, libraries, etc.). We are hoping that an increase in the PEN's pick up rate will lead to more public awareness about peace and environment issues and PERC's activities and ultimately increase PERC's membership.

Your answers to the following questions will provide us with valuable feedback that will help us to make our decisions.

1) The PEN is considering using full colour for the front and back pages. This would cost us about 10% more per issue. Do you believe that this is worth doing? Yes No

2) Should we be considering changing the look of the PEN in some way? Yes / No

3) If the PEN were to change, what adjectives do you think should describe the new look? e.g. more: open (i.e. less text per page) / scholarly / dynamic / trustworthy / artistic. Use as many adjectives as you like.

4) Space is always limited in the PEN due to financial constraints. Do you think that sacrificing some text space to create a more open look would provide a benefit by making the publication more readable? Or, should the PEN use as much space as possible for content?

5) Please give an example of one locally available publication that you like the look of and whose appearance you think the PEN might consider emulating; (the publication could be free or paid, city wide or a community paper, e.g. The Glebe Report, Capital Extra, Metro, etc.)

6) Do you have any comments about the style and content of the writing in the PEN? Should we consider making any changes? e.g. articles that are more scholarly? more personnel, etc.?

7) Any other comments?
