Theory: Julian McDougall


  • Julian McDougall (2009) suggests that in the online age it is getting harder to conceive a media audience as a stable, identifiable group.
  • However - audiences still clearly make sense and give meaning to cultural products.
  • An audience can be described as a "temporary collective" (McQuail, 1972)
  • Key terms: Mass / niche and mainstream/ Alternative
