This document discusses different types of audience responses to media based on reception theory: 1) Preferred reading is when the audience fully understands and agrees with the message of a media product. Examples given are understanding magazine covers about their topics. 2) Negotiated reading is when the audience accepts the preferred reading but interprets it through their own experiences. Examples are liking certain celebrities or music genres on magazine covers. 3) Oppositional reading is the opposite interpretation based on one's own values, as opposed to the intended message. Examples are disagreeing with magazine covers' portrayals of women or music.
