The demographics show that slightly more men read The Guardian than woman. This links in with the survey I conducted with my target audience in which I found that documentaries have more of a male audience but only slightly. I've also found that the age groups are roughly the same as I found in my surveys. This means by choosing this newspaper to include my advertisement, I am more likely to attract my target audience.

Excellent research into the institution for the placement of your advertisement. Demonstrating excellent research skills and awareness of similar products.
