AUDIENCE: THEORIES AND APPROACHES.

Two Step Flow of Communication (active consumption)

 Paul Lazarfeld recognised that a simple, linear model may not be sufficiently complex to understanding the relationship between message sent > message received.

Two-Step Flow: – The two-step flow of communication model says that most people form their opinions under the influence of opinion leaders, who in turn are influenced by the mass media.

Active consumptionThe idea that people engage with the media, causing them to purchase the product.

Audience Theories

  • Mass media increase after the Second World War
  • Passive consumption arose (Hyperdermic Model) which is a direct way of getting someone to do something.
  • The ‘Two step Flow of communication‘ = Introduces the theory that if an Opinion Leader is convinced by the media about something (a product), the mass audience will be convinced very quickly like sheep, we follow.
