Audience power essay.

 Essay question: “The internet has given audiences much more power than ever before.” To what

 

Extent do you agree with this statement?

 

In some way the audience has power more than ever before. This is because it allows strangers to comment on your life and views and makes it easy for people to get your personal information and leak it or abuse it.But on the other hand it has made the world easier to communicate and see each other face to face for example making it easier for conferences to take place and important information to be said if you are unable to attend it.

For new artists who pursue their dream of becoming an artist get a chance to show the audience their music and have a chance of either failing or succeeding in life with their music depending on if the audience likes their music or not. With that established the audience have power on whether an artist becomes popular or not. The artist’s music is based on the shares and support they get from the audience. People like Justin Bieber who became extremely popular because of the shares he got from the audience. This would would then mean he would get signed to a music company easily all because of a YouTube account.

For the Film and TV Industry, films for which if they do well the producers would invest more money and make another part to generate more income. With that said the audience decide whether a movie succeeds or not and has another part made. But they do not have enough power to copyright claim parts of the movie the industry can only do that with their money and power. For TV industries some people would binge watch a whole series if they like it or not. They then have the power to make sure a new series is made or abandoned.

For the Newspaper Industry, the industry has such power far powerful then the audience that they can change, shape and manipulate the audiences mind and thoughts towards daily life and things. With that said the audience can get rid of the mind controlling industry and get it cancelled and get rid of it. However the newspaper industry is still consumed between the audiences and is taken into consideration when talking about the negatives about the industry. Contrasting to this the newspaper industry is usually only distributing in the London underground as the internet has made it possible to see the news online rather than a paper. But the news on the internet is not always right and can be misleading and wrong in some casing being straight up fake for the audience to consume.
