Republicans held a forum in Iowa to discuss social issues important to evangelical voters as candidates vie for support ahead of the January caucuses.

The document discusses audience theory and how audiences interact with media texts. It describes several models of audience theory:
1) The hypodermic needle model from the 1920s which suggests audiences passively accept media messages.
2) The two-step flow model which proposes information flows from media to opinion leaders and then to less active groups.
3) Uses and gratification theory which says individuals use media actively to fulfill different needs like diversion, relationships, identity and surveillance.
4) Reception theory looks at how audiences interpret media based on their demographics and psychographics.
The document also discusses how the hypodermic needle model relates to genres like horror but that it is an oversimplification
An audience is a group of people that consume media texts. Media texts are created with an intended audience in mind. Audiences can be categorized by their demographics and psychographics.
Early audience theory, like the hypodermic needle model from the 1920s, suggested audiences passively accept media messages. However, the two-step flow theory proposed information spreads from media to opinion leaders to their associates, mediated by social influence. Later, uses and gratifications theory found individuals actively seek different functions from media, like diversion, relationships, identity, and information. Reception theory also noted interpretation depends on individual characteristics.
Narrative is the organization of a series of events that gives coherence and meaning. Humans naturally seek narrative structures to make sense of events, looking for a beginning, middle, and end. Media texts employ narrative to engage audiences without too much effort. Aristotle identified the basic linear plot structure with a clear beginning, middle, and end, where the middle may involve a crisis resolved at the end. Vladimir Propp examined fairy tales and identified 8 character types and 31 narrative functions that move the story along. Tzvetan Todorov developed the theory of disrupted equilibrium where the status quo is disrupted by an event but then restored at the end by heroes. Horror narratives follow this pattern, disrupting the status quo with a
