In this blog post I will be writing about the audience for this project. Who the audience is has a big impact of the tone, word choice, and content of the piece.

Who am I writing for? What are the audience's beliefs and assumptions?
- I am writing for new students in the field of business who are struggling to understand how to destruct an argument in the field and explain it. Because of this I need to use a informing and explaining tone to make sure the new students understand.
What position might they take on this issue? How will I need to respond to this position?
- They will most likely agree that social media is an important aspect and has a positive impact on businesses. If they believe its not, I will have to convince them through evidence of the positive benefits.
What will they want to know?
- They will want to know the reasons why social media is beneficial to businesses. They will want to be provided with statistics and evidence to back this. They also want to know how to do this for any article relating to the field of business.
How might they react to my argument?
- They will most likely agree with my argument. This is not a topic that will upset people so people would not be angered by it. It would hopefully not leave them with questions, but some readers may have more questions after reading.
How am I trying to relate to or connect with my audience?
- I am trying to connect to my audience by reporting on a relevant topic. The majority of today's youth are all over social media so they will be interested in how those two work together. These readers are going to have to destruct articles in this field as well so I will connect with them to show to perform this task.
Are there specific words, ideas, or modes of presentations that will help me relate to them in this way?
- I will presenting this text pretty formally because I am trying to teach. Also the author of my article wrote his article formally. The idea of how social media benefits businesses will help them relate because all people involved in businesses are looking for advantages. If they see the benefits they will be very interested.
Reflection
I read the blog posts of Rachel and Addie and I found that the three of us had similar ideas on our respective audiences. We all felt very similar on ways we would try to connect to the audience, be that by using a current topic or that our audience is in the same field as us. I felt that my blog was well developed after reading the blog posts of my peers.

Well done! I agree with all of your statements.I'm glad that you recognize that not everyone (even thought it may seem like it) agrees about the positive aspects of social media. It was also a good point when you mentioned that this isn't really a topic that could anger anyone. Try using this to have a completely open discussion about your topic!
ReplyDeleteI think you performed good analysis here. I like how in the last question you mentioned that people involved in business are always looking for ways that certain things are going to benefit, because this is a very true statement. The only part of your analysis that I would caution you about is your use of formality because you might overwhelm or intimidate your peers with overly formal language, but the decision of how you present your text is ultimately up to you.
ReplyDeleteYour analysis seems to be well rounded. I also like how you give how you will do about talking to your audience specifically. If you are too formal with your audience they will think that you think you are above them even though you are their peer.
