Studio Brief 2 - Initial Ideas

To be able to develop a good few ideas on what could be discussed, in regards to a currently issue within the world, I decided to look at the YouGov website this allows for the public to have an opinion, and say, on particular issues. The site is accessible to anyone in the UK with internet access giving the broadest possible sample. By looking at this site it meant, not only did I receive information about the publics opinions on particular issues, but I could see what people thought was important current issues to discuss. Allowing for my initial ideas to be relevant to the audience straight away.
