Understanding Audience

-Media effects
-Hypodermic
-Uses and gratifications model

Hypodermic Needle
-Developed in 1920's and 30's
-Linear communication theory

-Passive audience
-No individual mediation/thoughts

-Does not take in indivuals, for example muslims

-Only everyone on awhole

Whats wrong with the hypodermic needle model?People have diffrent interpertaions
-Laugh at diffrent things
-Cry at diffrent things
(diffrent feelings and views)

One directional-Doesn't treat the audience as individuals

-They don't question the text, without questioning
