Thinking about Audience

Thinking  about Audience

-          Whom do you want to reach?

In my piece I wish to reach residents of the old Louisville area.

-          What is your audience’s background-education and life experience?

Most residents of the old Louisville area are young adults attending University of Louisville and surrounding colleges. Age ranges from early 20’s to mid 30’s their life experiences probably growing up around the Kentuckian area and leaving home and coming to college and living on their own for the first time in their lives.

-          What are their interests?

From my own interests as a young adult living in the old Louisville area, and knowing many of my neighbors living in the same area and about the same age range, our main interests are having fun, doing good in school, and working

-      What is their demographic information and what should you keep in mind? 

                The demographic of the residents of old Louisville are a range of white, black              Asian, and Indian college students ages ranging from early 20’s to mid 30’s

-      What political circumstances may affect their reading?    

 I believe the community has a good mix of residents that are both conservative and            liberal. However I don’t believe their political views bias and etc. will affect their reading my piece about the community.

-          What does your audience already know- or believe- about your topic? What do you need to tell them? What is the best way to do so?                                                                                                                                          I believe my audience doesn’t know much about the history of the community especially in specific the Conrad-Caldwell  House. I would like to teach my audience about the  history of the house and how it restoration of all the homes in the area affect them in one way or another.

-          What’s your relationship with your audience and how does it affect your language and tone?                    

                 My relationship with my audience is in a way a familiar one. I know I will have to write

 as if I am speaking to someone unknown  just so my points will get across.

-          What does your audience need or expect from you?                                                                                                      

      I believe my audience will need me to be specific about my information and I believe              they will expect me to show them why my information is important and why it should be important to them.

-          What kind of response do you want?                                                                                                                                    

     The response I am looking for is just for the residence to have awareness and maybe want to reach out in the community and become more involved to further funding of                         the restoration and up keep of the community.

                How can you best appeal to your  audience?                                                                                                                      
  My best appeal to my audience is that this is the community that they live in and share  the same problems as the rest of the old homes such as the Conrad-Caldwell house share. This should be important to them because without the proper funding and help from the community
