New topic!! Audience studies

According to the Hypodermic needle theory, audiences are easily tricked into thinking whatever the director, journalist or author wants them to think.

On today's class:

The people who hold the majority opinion form social groups who punish the more vulnerable individuals who are perceived as a minority, creating a feeling of fear to speak out.

Hypodermic Needle Theory

It's a theory very related to propaganda.

Mass media has an inmediate, direct and powerful effect on adiences; everything they put out for us we swallow it.

The algorithms we use today coul be related to propaganda in the way they target us.

HAROLD LASSWELL's model (1948)

This model focuses on the EFFECT rather than the message. An effect means an observable or measurable change in the receiver. (context: after World War II).

TRANSACTIONAL MODEL.

Barnlund (1970), Frymer (2005) and Wilmot (1987) models.
classification of the "noise" element in the scheme. It contemplates a shared field of experience.
February 11, 2025 at 1:58 PM
INTERACTIONAL MODEL.

Wilbur Schramm model (1954). The main difference with the first model (Shannon & Weaver) it is that this scheme is circular and it includes new elements, such as FEEDBACK. Feedback tells communicators whether their message is received/understood.
