Audience research is an invaluable tool for media to understand the audience, improve programming and engagement strategies, and increase revenue. It can also be a useful way for media development practitioners to measure progress and impact. Yet it can also be very costly, time-consuming, and complex. This hands-on workshop will explore practical ways to incorporate audience research into media development work. Together, we will design appropriate audience research for different media scenarios. We will discuss how do the best (and most useful) research possible, even when time, money, and research expertise are limited.

Rapporteur for the session: Adam Saffer, Assistant Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
