- A passive audience does not actively engage with a media text. A passive audience is one that does not question the message that the media is sending and simply accepts the message in the way the media outlet intended.
Active Audience
- An active audience is one that actively engages with the text. They do not simply accept every media message.
Primary Audience

Audience Reception Theory
- The media text is NOT simply passively accepted by the audience but the audience interprets the meaning based on their life experiences. For example, a group with similar backgrounds will understand the text in similar ways. The less shared heritage the audience has with the creator the less the audience will be able to recognise the artist intended message. For Example EastEnders used HIV as a issue for one of the main characters showing of the discrimination and problems that occur with HIV because it was a problem at the time in real life for many.
