is the audience?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Historically, the audience&#8217;s primary task has been to listen, but nowadays the definition of the audience has become much more complicated and audience research has become a specialty\u00a0<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It seems that the first formal audience should be found in speeches made thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n<p>In English,\u00a0Audience\u00a0is derived from the Latin root Audire, meaning to hear.\u00a0So apparently\u00a0the Audience&#8217;s\u00a0job was to be the listener and the speaker to deliver the speech.<\/p>\n<p>In our language, we also use the word audience, which is in front of the speaker.\u00a0In other words, the preacher reads sermons and the audience listens to sermons.<\/p>\n<p>If we want to avoid serious and precise academic definitions, perhaps the most general definition is that the audience is the person for whom\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dgding.com\/en\/what-is-content\/\">the content<\/a>\u00a0is prepared, organized and presented.\u00a0Of course, whether the content reaches the audience or not is another matter.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the audience of a television program may be social science experts;\u00a0But at the moment of the broadcast of the program, no expert should be on the TV and not see that program.\u00a0In such a situation, we can still say that the audience of the program was social science experts.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as a rule, such a definition can have different examples in every space.\u00a0Consider these examples:<\/p>\n<p><strong>The speaker&#8217;s audience<\/strong>\u00a0are those who are going to hear his speech and he speaks for them and for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The audience in content marketing<\/strong>\u00a0are those who are going to receive and consume the content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The audience of an organization&#8217;s public relations<\/strong>\u00a0are all the stakeholders of the organization at the macro level and in the whole society.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The audience of advertising<\/strong>\u00a0is the potential customers of a product or business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The audience of any media<\/strong>\u00a0is those whom\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dgding.com\/en\/what-is-media\/\">the media<\/a>\u00a0is set up to reach and tries to deliver its message to.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

demographics<\/h2>\n<p>One of the methods of audience research is paying attention to audience demographics.<\/p>\n<p>To pay attention to factors such as the age composition of the audience, their ethnic composition, gender composition, occupation, education, social class and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, demography is not always the right way to analyze and classify the audience.\u00a0It is up to you to decide how much to focus on the demographic composition of your audience depending on your topic.<\/p>\n<h2>Audience book<\/h2>\n<p>Many books have been written about the audience and audience studies, among which the following can be mentioned:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dennis McQuail&#8217;s book of audience theory<\/li>\n<li>John Sullivan&#8217;s Book of Media Audiences<\/li>\n<li>Graham Mayton&#8217;s Media Audience Research Method book<\/li>\n<li>Audience Evolution with New Media by Philip Napoli<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The advantage of the above books is that by reviewing the list of contents and their headings, you can understand to some extent the greatness of the world of audience studies, and you may even be interested in choosing this field as your specialty.<\/p>\n<p>But if you don&#8217;t want to become an expert or analyst in the media field and you just want to learn audience analysis in your desired field of expertise, it&#8217;s better to go for other books.<\/p>\n<p>For example, many\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dgding.com\/en\/what-is-content-strategy\/\">content strategy<\/a>\u00a0books such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Content-Inc-Entrepreneurs-Successful-Businesses\/dp\/125958965X\">Content Inc.<\/a>\u00a0devote a section to audience analysis, which can be more useful for those interested in content strategy than a specialized audience analysis book.<\/p>\n<p>Or the audience section of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dgding.com\/en\/all-kinds-of-advertisements\/\">advertising<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dgding.com\/en\/what-is-brand-and-branding\/\">branding<\/a>\u00a0books can be more
