This post is designed to help me identify my possible audiences for project 3. To do this, I will think of 2 specific audiences that might be interested in my topic, 2 places where I would post this text, and 2 examples for each.
1. The first audience I am thinking about writing for is towards the low wage workers. If I wrote for the minimum wage workers, I would talk about why raising the wage too high wouldn't be beneficial, even though they want to be paid more.
If I wrote for this audience, I would probably post it somewhere like New York Times or Washington Post. These are both general information sites that has a broad audience. This genre could be written in a blog type format, similar to the examples posted below.
New York Times:
Example #1
Example #2
Washington Post
Example #1
Example #2
2. The next audience could be the employers of a high number of low-wage workers. For this audience, the text would move towards an idea that minimum wage should be entry level wages, but there should motivation to move up because there is a higher pay. This would encourage employees to work harder and refine their skills.
If I wrote to this audience, I would post on a website like Forbes, Or the Wall Street Journal. This genre would be written in a blog type format, similar to the examples posted.
Forbes:
Example #1
Example #2
Wall Street Journal:
Example #1
Example #2
