Audiences are PASSIVE. This means….
Audiences don’t question media messages, they accept
them.
The media is like a ‘drug’ – as audiences we are injected
with images, ideas, instructions, words, behaviours and
so on that we take on board and act on. We follow media
messages as if they were direct instructions without
considering if we agree with them, or not. For example,
seeing violence on television, and then going out and
attacking someone.
-Audiences don’t all react in the
same way-they may reject
violence they view rather than
copying it.
-There is little research that
supports this view of the
effects of the media.
