Defining Audiences

Who are your audiences?

Knowledge Check

Understanding the needs, cultural background, community history, location, and values of your audiences is one of the most important factors in effective communication. This understanding allows you to match your message to audience characteristics, such as interests, cultural background, location, and preferred communication channels.

One way to think about your audience is their psychological proximity to the event. People are psychologically close to an event when they are physically and emotionally involved.

  • They may have family members who are affected. 
  • They may be emergency workers trying to help. 
  • Perhaps their jobs or industries will be hurt by the crisis.

It is important to understand these groups and how they receive important messages. Also, people don’t only receive information; they send it. With changing media technologies, including social media services like Twitter and Facebook, and the ability to use digital media and the Internet, people in a disaster zone can share real-time information with others.

Understanding the needs, cultural background, community history, location, and values of your audiences is one of the most important factors in effective communication. This understanding allows you to match your message to audience characteristics, such as interests, cultural background, location, and preferred communication channels.

One way to think about your audience is their psychological proximity to the event. People are psychologically close to an event when they are physically and emotionally involved.

  • They may have family members who are affected. 
  • They may be emergency workers trying to help. 
  • Perhaps their jobs or industries will be hurt by the crisis.

It is important to understand these groups and how they receive important messages. Also, people don’t only receive information; they send it. With changing media technologies, including social media services like Twitter and Facebook, and the ability to use digital media and the Internet, people in a disaster zone can share real-time information with others.
