Active audience – have their own opinion on the media they

needle theory – theorises that audiences are essentially passive, and
will readily absorb messages relayed to them by the media.
This means that, after watching a violent horror film, or

reject media messages) rather than active (they make sense of media messages)
rather than active (they make sense of media messages through personal and
social contexts.
