Whom do I want to reach?
If I could actually choose who would read my story I would direct it towards Louisvillians with a passion for United States history. My account references the Lewis and Clark voyage and their layover periods in the Louisville area. Ideally people with passion about westward expansion or Louisville history would be my audience.
What is your audience’s background?
If the actual crowd I want to read my piece did; then their background would be Kentucky residents with a passion for history. This is very broad, but I want it to be. I would like my story to reach as many readers as possible.
What are their interests?
Going with a broad generalization of the commonwealth of Kentucky I would say my audience has some interest in college basketball, maybe horse racing, possible tobacco farms, bluegrass music and potentially bourbon. I know those are large generalizations about the state, but realistically most people in the state do have a passion for at least one of the items listed.
Is there any demographic information that you should keep in mind?
I feel my story has more of an impact on the reader the closer to the Ohio River they live, more specifically the closer to Louisville, Locust Grove, and Clarksville Indiana. These locations were directly involved in the history I am attempting to portray. The closer to the origin, the more meaningful the accord will be.
What political circumstances may affect their reading?
The commonwealth of Kentucky is historically a strong Republican supporting state. Jefferson County in particular has been an outlier from the norm. This is the only county that over the past 20 years has shown strong Democratic support. I do not feel political views hinder my audience. The event I am describing is appreciated by most all Americans.
