Audiences
We say that something is constructed when
there is deliberate attempt and effort to turn an
idea into material reality. The Audience for
teleserye does not exist per se but the creators
and producers build their minds what kind of
people will the teleserye most certainly attracts.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Is best defined as a specific group of people
identified and aggregated from selected population
segments who are the intended users. The information
generated from them helps publishers and producers
develop media messages that will attract this group or,
in case of advertisers, help them recommend products
that will be potentially attractive and useful to this
target audience.
How Audiences are Constructed
Shaun Moores ( 1993) asserts that the audience is not a
homogeneous category and that it is best to see it in its
plurality- as audiences, in fact. They are disparate
group categorized by how they receive the media ( in
privacy of their homes or out in the shopping malls) and
other identity markers such as gender, race, ethno
linguistic group, class status, and other positions in the
society.
The attributes of the audience can be summed up by
GEARS:
G- ender
E- thnicity
A- ge range
R- egion or Nationality
S-ocio-econimic group
Psychographics
It is derived from the concept of demographics,
but is focused on the psychological traits. This
category is often utilized to provide more substance to
the profile of potential media audiences. It covers
attitudes, personality types, opinions, and
motivations.
Crating Content for Target Audiences
Fiske (1987) remarked that “ television tries to
construct an ideal position which it invites us to occupy,
and, if we do, rewards us with the pleasure of
recognition.”
