Audience Theories #4
The Reinforcement Theory:
- Media has little power in influencing people.
- It only reinforces what people think.
- Only time media influences people is when it introduces a new idea or concept.
- "People are more likely to be influenced by their families, schools, or religious institutions."
- "There are certain attitudes and beliefs that the mass media would not be able to change including racial and religious tolerance."
