Analyzing the Audience

Look carefully at each of the following websites. Who is the intended audience? How can you tell? Be specific and detailed in your answers. Consider the following questions:

  • Who will be reading/listening to/ using this material?
  • What special characteristics do they have?
  • Which discourse community do they belong to?
  • What is their background and attitude toward the subject?

After you have decided the intended audience, decide the purpose of the website. Again, be specific and detailed in your answers.

Sport Compact Car
MSNBC
CosmoGIRL
American Geriatrics Society
EHS

Post your responses on your blog. Due 11/14/07.
