Question 37

• Media texts do not simply appear from nowhere. They take time and, sometimes, a lot of money to produce. When we watch a show, read an article, or pass by a billboard on the highway, we may forget that there are people who wrote, designed, and put it all together.
• In fact-checking and content verification, identifying the source(s) of information is a crucial step in assessing its reliability. In the age of social media influencers, asking about authors of media messages becomes even more vital.

Answer 37

Who created the message? (Author)

Question 38

• In the attention economy, most media texts are strategically designed and distributed to attract and engage specific audiences. Regardless of their purpose – to inform, persuade, entertain, or a mix of all – media creators utilize information about audiences (usually, in the form of our personal data collected by digital media platforms) to make important choices about their creation.
• Even if creators can attempt to match the needs and wants of their target audiences, audiences can still use, interpret, and respond to media in very different ways. A given media text will not be interpreted by its audiences in the exact same way.

Answer 38

Who is the target audience? (Audience)
