12 Media Studies:
This week we are examining Audiences: two types: Active audience, one in which the member of the audience uses media to suit his or her own purpose, manipulating the media for one's purpose. Example, remixing a CD, fanfiction. The second group are passive receivers of media. They are known as a target audience, term used by developers of media and by advertisers. There are four large groups of target audiences, determined by date born: silent generation: 1923-1943. Baby boomers: 1943-1960. X generation: 1960-1983. Y generation: 1983-2001. Y generation also known as the iGeneration, Millennials, Trophy Generation. These years are rough estimates, and depend on the source.
