Audience playlist research






Looking at the Radio 1 playlist on the left and the breakfast show playlist on the right, you can see a large difference in the top songs, radio 1 playlist consists of songs in the top 40 charts, therefore they are new and popular songs. Whereas, the breakfast shows playlist has a wider range of songs including new, old and classics to attract a more wider audience. 

I believe the reason the playlists are so different it because they have to attract the audience that listen to each show. The breakfast show has a wider range due to a more varied audience listen to it, having older songs such as the spice girls will be relatable for young adults as they are songs from their childhood. Whereas Radio 1 just mostly plays the charts as it is for the younger audience. 

You can see the link to both these playlists trying to target the largely under 30 audience as they are the people who are most likely to listen to new and popular songs in the charts as it will be a range of music genres. Also, the breakfast show playlist is new songs but also songs which would be around when the audience would be growing up so they would know all the songs. This targets them as people will enjoy the songs and not want to change the radio station.

Circulation/readership homework



  • Although The Independent is an online only newspaper it is only ranked 3rd in the amount of online circulation readership
  • Although The Sun is more aimed at a younger audience who typically use social media the most, The Guardia has almost 6 times as many twitter followers
  • Over half (55.69%) of The Telegraphs readers are 65+
  • 5 of the newspapers are politically Conservative with only 2 being left wing; can give indication as to why our current government is a Conservative one (influenced) 
  • The Times is the only newspaper with less then one million likes on facebook

Audience research

MORAL PANICS

Moral panic is used to describe media presentation of something that has happened that the public will react to in a panicky manner. Moral panic usually exaggerates statistics to create a bogey-man (known as a folk-devil in sociological terms). Used commonly in newspapers to attract attention and interest to the audience.

HYPODERMIC NEEDLE THEORY

The Hypodermic needle theory talks about media’s power on audience. The message in this theory is said to be like a magic bullet which enters the minds of audience and injects a particular message. The theory explains how media controls what the audience views and listens to and the effects, which can be immediate or later in future. Social media is a clear example of how easily brainwashed we can become as a result of the hypodermic needle theory due to us believing most things we see or read.
