This is a great question! I'm interested in audience analysis studies, as well. Preferably, something contemporary that factors the impact of social media in audience behavior and preferences. There are some undated discussions online and materials from 1988, 1993, and 2010 but those analyses are too old to for addressing the impact of modern social media.

Hey Mark,

Can you pass on some of these studies? Where do you usually find such things?

Thanks,
Mark
