This week, we will focus on the topic that is audience. With this topic, we could outline six aspects that are what is about the audience, a context and case study: television audiences from broadcast to post-broadcast, early theorizations of the ‘mass’ audience, active audience theories, fans and fandom, and the people formerly known as the audience.
If we pay more attention to our surroundings, it is not difficult to find out that there are many examples of these six aspects.
When you walk on the street, you will find out that there are more people who look at their phone to receive information rather than read newspaper and magazine.
Here, I would like to talk about the media effect because I think every media people should take care of the power of media. Media is powered than what people think. As everyone knows that there are billions people using internet and other new media, and the speed of spreading some information is faster than before. During the spreading, we could not avoid information to be changed by everyone who helps to spread information. Maybe, the information is not the original one when you hear about it. Just take China as an example, in recent years, the issue of the relation between doctor and patient is very serious. According some news that posted by many medium, some doctors receive dirty money from the family of patient so that they would take care of and cure the patient. Also, some news present that the family of patient harm doctor and nurse for many reasons such as the patient is sick heavily, could not be cured.
Whenever medium post this kind of news online, thousands people would comment of these news, expressing their opinions. Most of people actually do not know the truth of news, making mess that they believe and thought. One by one, there are many kinds of story burn from public.
Using media, everyone must be careful, or many problems would be generated.
