Guidelines

The intented audience is referred to as the who, what, where, and why. So, to prepare an audience analysis:

  • Define the background of the audience by determining social situation (who) and subject knowledge level (what).
  • Identify characteristics of the audience by paying attention to demographics characteristics (who and what), Interests, Needs, and Expectations.
  • Consider the environment that is surrounding the audience (where).[2]


To conduct an effective analysis organize the resulting questions and answers in a audience analysis model.
