Learning outcomes To approach the concepts of “public”, “audience”, “generation” and to know the several theories regarding “mass” and “segmentation”.

To understand how the public has become fragmented over time raises new problems. In the Age of Internet 3.0 it urges to equally understand this new stage of “segment massification”, which is also one of trends at technological level and social figures.

It matters to know which figures emerge due to the new media (cloud, mobile, games, TV, transmedia, YouTube and IGTV), how the publics have mobilized today and how they react to the impact of media messages (images, media files and narratives).

From the methodological point of view one highlights the empirical research and its practice. The theoretical paradigms help to optimize research, to know the audience and to define better the purpose of the research in this field.
