My Secondary Audience

‘Your secondary audience is anyone who will potentially be affected by your communication.’

I believe that my secondary audience would

be people who perhaps did not get involved at all with social media during the games, or maybe just did not get involved in a positive way. I believe my documentary will affect them as it will weigh up both the positive and negative affects of social media in the games, and so if they did not use it in a positive way they may feel like the minority and ‘left out’ and may encourage them to be more active for other popular events.

Who would be my secondary audience?
