In tackling the impact of globalization and digital media, the field has expanded and diversified its scope to capture a broader range of audience practices and positionings. In order to address the growing fragmentation of contemporary audiences (Livingstone 2007) the field has shifted its prevailing focus on the Anglo-American context to a polycentric geography that includes a wider spectrum of media cultures across the world. At the same time, research focusing on mainstream forms of media consumption goes hand in hand with the investigation of a diverse set of situated and niche practices. Scholarship on transnational (Athique 2016), migrant and diasporic audiences (Smets 2013; Hedge 2016) has also contributed to a much needed conversation around decolonization of methods and research agendas. Such diversification of topics, practices and objectives has also entailed a complexification of methodologies, which exceed the \u2018traditional\u2019 domains of media and cultural studies to include tools and methods from the digital humanities and data science, as well as a wider spectrum of qualitative methods (i.e., oral history, visual methods).&nbsp; In 2017, the Deutsche Welle Akademie explored the challenges of audience research and media development. In their findings, they highlight that even though mixed methods approaches are often used in audience research, mixed methods designs are often misunderstood; and called universities to do the work of critical reflection on methods, as well as to offer sustained support and monitoring of implementation (Reineck et. al. 2017)<\/p>\n<p>Outside of academia, the study of audiences has become a strategic branch in corporate and commercial research, particularly for marketing and branding (Mytton, Diem and van Dam 2016), with national bodies like Ofcom (2020, 2022) commissioning investigations to private companies instead of educational institutions. This raises broader questions about the incommensurability between theories of audience that inform professional industry practices and theories of audience used in empirical research, and points to the fact that audiences cannot be studied outside of their analytical construction (Ang 2002; Nightingale 1996).<\/p>\n<p>All these considerations are relevant to the many subfields that constitute audience research today, which span from the historical inquiry on cinema-going (Kuhn 2002; Treveri-Gennari et al. 2024; Dass 2015; Li 2023) to the study of fandom, social media and digital audiences (Morrissey 2016; Booth 2010; Procter, Voss&nbsp; and Lvov 2015; Al-Rawi 2017). Drawing from the liveliness and growing complexity of the field, this symposium aims to generate discussions around audience research with a specific attention to methods, the politics of location, ethics and inclusivity.<\/p>\n<p>Proposals (300 words max) should be sent via this form&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/e\/RYPRtsBYjA\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/forms.office.com\/e\/RYPRtsBYjA<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px;color: var( --e-global-color-text )\">&nbsp;We are especially interested in 15\u201320-minute papers \u2013 including work in progress \u2013 focusing on methodology in relation to specific projects but also in a more speculative fashion.

In particular, this presentation will identify key demographic shifts in terms of ethnicity, language use, and age that are guiding a more nuanced construction of Latinx\/e viewers in a transnational television industry. The findings illustrate that audience studies needs to remain nimble in terms of how media industries engage with changing demographics.<\/span><\/p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: var( --e-global-color-text );text-align: var(--text-align)\">Speaker&#8217;s bio: Jillian B\u00e1ez <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;color: var( --e-global-color-text );text-align: var(--text-align)\">is an associate professor in the Africana, Puerto Rican, and Latino Studies Department at Hunter College, City University of New York.
