Why I Care About Audiences


At this point, you may be wondering why I care about audiences. The answer is simple really; it’s because we are all a part of audiences in one capacity or another, and being part of an audience tends to come with certain roles and responsibilities depending on what the context that audience is in. Also, the fact that we as humans are social beings, makes sense as to why audiences and the media outlets they use to express themselves exist in the first place. In addition, I find the question of why people do things and engage in certain things fascinating and by looking at audiences, I can see general views and perspectives from varying types of audiences as to why they choose to participate. So, by studying audiences more in depth, I hope to gain a better understanding of why people choose to participate in certain audiences over others, to discuss whether individuals truly understand that they indeed belong to a much larger, potentially even global audience and what that even means to belong to such a large audience.
