Presented at the XXIV Annual Conference of the
Indian Association for the Study of Population
22-24 February 2001, Andhra University, Visakhapalnatn.

Introduction
in September 1990, 71 heads of slate and 8<S ministerial representatives convened at United
Nations (UN) Headquarters in New York for the World Summit for Children (WSC). The
World Summit tor Children adopted a declaration on the Survival, Protection, and
Development of Children and a Plan of Action for its implementation. The Plan of Action
identified seven ifiajor goals and twenty supporting goals relating to the survival, health,
nutrition, education and protection of children to he reached by the year 2000. The UN
system was given the task of assisting countries in achieving these goals and measuring
progress. United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) was asked to be the lead agency in this
process.
Alter the WSC, a set of goals for the mid-decade and end-decade were agreed upon.
The World Summit Plan of Action called for a mid-decade ami an end-decade review of
progress. The need to measure progress toward these goals increased the demand for high
quality and timely, data. In many developing countries, routine reporting systems were often
found to be inadequate, and did not uniformly collect information on many of the goals.
The 1993 SAAKC Summit identified specific targets and goals to be achieved by the
year 1995. This led to a global movement on identifying Mid-Decade Goals (MDGs) to be
achieved by all by the end of 1995 and institutionalisation of appropriate indicators for
measuring progress against these Mid-Decade Goals. UNICEF led a process to develop an
affordable, fast and reliable household survey system that would fill gaps in knowledge and
update available data. UNICEF worked with a number of agencies, including the UN
Statistical Division, WHO, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNDP, the World Bank, London School of
I lygiene and 1 ropicai Medicine, and the Centre for Disease Control to develop a model
questionnaire to measure standard indicators for the Mid-Decade Goals. The model
questionnaire was incorporated into a manual that had detailed instructions for planning and
implementing a cluster survey. The questionnaire and manual were distributed to UNICEF
country' offices with instructions that they should carry out a M1CS if there are no other
reliable sources of data to report on MDGs. The M1CS-1 to measure the progress towards
achieving MDGs implemented in approximately 60 countries, including India.

India was one of the countries included in the Global Evaluation of Multiple Indicator
Chisler Surveys conducted in 1996. The observations and recommendations of the global
evaluation have been very' useful in modifying the approach and standardising (his second
round of MICS in India. Three consultations were held in June 1999 involving all offices in
UNICEF, India to discuss the modalities for the reporting on Goals and lhe draft formats for
MICS-II. UNICEF. New York had already made available lhe formats and instruction for
these surveys. lhe survey formats were further discussed al a Workshop in Delhi in August
I')>)'), involving a number of Ministries and Departments, various agencies who had the
experience ol conducting many survevs including the first round of MICS. l he workshop

to television than to any other form of media. The exposure to print media,- which is dependent
on literacy, varies from a high of 64—65 percent in Mizoram and Kerala (the two Indian states
where literacy is highest) to a low of 9 percent in Bihar and 11 percent in Arunachal Pradesh and
Orissa. Cinema or theatre is most popular in Andhra Pradesh where 35 percent of women visit a
cinema or theatre at least once a month and least popular in Mizoram and Nagaland where only 1
percent of women do so. Cinema or theatre is also popular in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and
Sikkim, where 19-22 percent of women visit the cinema/theatre regularly. The proportion of
women regularly exposed to the cinema or theatre is less than the proportion exposed to each of
the other forms of media in every state except Andhra Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh.

During the six and one-half years between NFHS-1 and NFHS-2, every state registered
an increase in the proportion of women who watch television, with increases of 20 percentage

60

points or more,in Himachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Kerala, and Punjab . Regular exposure
tq^dio increased in all of the northeastern states and slightly in Himachal Pradesh, but declined
elsewhere. Regular visits to the cinema/theatre•declined in 17 of the 23 states for which
comparisons can be made and the decline was largest in the states where such visits were most
common at the time of NFHS-1. The decrease was especially pronounced in Tamil Nadu where
the percentage of women visiting the cinema/theatre at least once a month declined from 43
percent to 22 percent.

Women’s Employment

Labor force participation not only gives women an opportunity to earn income, but also exposes
them to the outside world and to authority structures and networks other than kin-based ones
(Dixon-Mueller, 1993). In a developing country such as India, however, where women's
workforce participation is often motivated by poverty, these benefits are likely to be mediated by
the social context of women's work and their total work burden (Bardhan, 1985; Desai and Jain,
1994). In addition, the empowering effects of employment for women are likely to depend on
their occupation, the continuity of their workforce participation, and whether they earn and

Table 3.13 indicates that there are sharp urban-rural differences in women’s educational
aspirations for girls and boys. Rural respondents have lower educational aspirations than urban
respondents, particularly for girls. Rural respondents are also much less likely than urban
respondents to say that girls and boys should be given as much education as they desire. It is
notable, however, that even in rural areas more than two-thirds of women say that girls should be
aiven at least a high school education or as much education as they desire.

These results underscore the widespread prevalence of domestic violence in India,
especially violence perpetrated by husbands against wives. The high level of acceptance of wifebeating also revealed by these data suggests that women may feel powerless against such
violence and will tend to accept it without question. The experience of violence and the silent
acceptance of violence by women undermines attempts to empower women and will continue to
be a barrier to the achievement of demographic, health, and socioeconomic development goals.

Ever use of any modem method increases with women's age up to age 35-39 (peaking at
67 percent) and declines at older ages. The increase in contraceptive use with age up to 3?-39
retlects a life-cycle effect, with women increasingly adopting contraception as their fertility goals
are met. Declining ever use of modem methods by older women retlects. at least in part, larger
familv size norms and lower levels of contraceptive prevalence in the past. The pattern of ever
use bv ace is similar for urban and rural areas, although urban women are more likely to have
used contraception than rural women at every age.

Designing Messages for Development Communication |

| Pretesting Audience Response________ ___ _____________________ 1^2.

impersonal mechanical process to select typical audience members
to ensure against bias. Use a combination of information collection
methods, e.g., observation followed by group interviews and indi­
vidual interviews.
The easiest, most frequently used procedure for audience testing
of audio programs, video cassettes, films, and personal reading
material involves getting together a focus group of eight to ten
audience members, showing them the test material unobtrusively
along with two to three other messages, watching their reactions to
the test message, and then asking them specific questions focused
on its content and form. When the researcher is testing a poster,
she/he should exhibit it among other posters where the audience
I will see it. She/he would then get an idea of its attention-getting
ability. Passersby who stop to look at it could be asked questions,
; in addition to pretesting through focus groups.
The researcher should first ask questions of pretest audiences
that start with their general impressions of the several messages
they were presented. Rather than putting words in the mouth of
audiences by asking leading questions such as ‘You liked the pro­
gram, didn’t you’, it is better to ask open-ended questions that
allow the audience to speak al length in their own words. Then
proceed to probing questions about particular messages, and parti­
cular parts of messages the team has doubts about. The team might
want reactions to the title used, the names of characters, the color
of costumes, the settings, words, music, pictorial technique, camera
movements and editing styles. If the audience failed to spontaneously
comment on a crucial part of the message, they might be asked to
review the material a second time. The researcher might then ask
if the pretest group noticed anything this time that they missed before.
If no answer is forthcoming, she/he may point to the particular item
and ask the audience what it means to them This will tell the pro­
ducer why this element was ignored, and how it could be modified.

\/Pretesting Condom Communications
One African country designed alternative formulations to arrive
at the final form of television spots encouraging condom use
as protection against AIDS, rhe intended audience was
initially thought to be sexually active men. Initial pretests indi­
cated that this audience was not homogenous: in addition to

age, economic class, occupation, and rural-urban differences,
those who had experience of sexually transmitted diseases
were easier to convince than those who did not. Therefore,
the production team designed different messages for two dif­
ferent segments within this audience: young male patients at
sexually transmitted disease clinics, and the general population.
The content focused on why condoms should be used to
prevent AIDS. The production team used different presenters
to test if the information was more credible if it came from a
physician versus a peer. To save money, the production team
used slides with accompanying audio tapes to pretest the dif­
ference. Both segments preferred their peers as presenters.
The pretest group felt the doctor was ‘preachy’. They preferred
positive images of ‘safe’, sexually active couples over negative
images of AIDS patients, vernacular phrases over medically
correct terminology, and realistic portrayals over dramatic
exaggerated presentations.5____________________________

Procedure
A standard pretest information collection procedure follows.

1.

Observation During Pretest Exposure
Let exposure to the puppet show, audio, video, or print material
take place in as natural and usual a setting as possible. If the
researcher is testing a poster, display it with other posters in a
location similar to where it would be posted after final pro­
duction and distribution. If audiences will view the radio and
television programs under production in the kitchen while
meals arc being prepared and children are demanding attention,
or in a central location where the community gathers, make
sure the researcher presents the tape in similar settings rather
than in sterile alien studios. The team should always ensure
that test messages arc presented between two or three other
materials designed for the same audience to avoid alerting the
audience to which message is being tested, and thus biasing
their responses.

Attention-getting:
The researcher should look for indications of the attentiongetting potential of the message such as the following: did
passersby stop and look at the poster you arc testing? Did the
cover of the printed pamphlet cause the audience member’s
expression to change? Did hc/shc make any exclamations?
When the audio or audiovisual (film, television, slide-tape
show) started, what was th«J expression on the viewcr/listcncr’s
face?
Attention-holding:
A good message designer recognizes that merely getting the
attention of the audience initially is not enough. The researcher
should also look for the following indications of attention­
holding throughout exposure to the message: did the audience
member watch/listen to/rcad the whole message diligently?
When was she/he distracted or bored?

2.

Questions to Ask After Exposure
The researcher should not interrupt first exposure to a puppet
show, radio program, television program, or poster with
questions. Wait until the pretest audience has finished reading,
listening, anil watching. Ask the following questions about
audience reactions to the whole program (holistic testing),
and then probe reactions to specific parts (atomistic testing).
It is important to probe, pause, and listen. The audience's
voice is more important than the researcher’s.
General reaction to the whole message:
The following are illustrations of questions that should be
asked in the respectful form of the local language: what did
you think about the poster/pamphlet/program/show you just
saw/hcard? (Probe: Anything else?)
Was there anything you liked about the poster/program? What
was it? (Probe: e.g.. Characters? Music? Dialogue? Illustra­
tions?) Was there anything you disliked about it? If yes, what
was it you disliked? (Probe)
Was there anything that your friends and family would be
offended by? What is offensive? Why is it offensive?
Comprehension of main idea:
Tire researcher should constantly try to be unbiased. Questions

should be phrased in an open-ended fashion so the audience
knows criticism and praise arc equally useful. Illustrations
follow: What was the main idea that the (specify poster,
radio program) was trying to get across? What else? Any­
thing else?
Docs the (specify program/poster, etc.) want you to do any­
thing in particular? (Wait for answer anti then probe:) What
docs the poster/program/pamphlct want you to do? Will you
do it? Why? Why not?
Was the message easy to understand or hard to follow? Was
there anything confusing about this message? What was con­
fusing? Were there any parts (words, songs, action) that your
friends would have a difficult time understanding? Please
name them. What do these words mean: (read one word at a
lime from a list of crucial words used in the program/poster
and write down the exact answers the audience gives)
Credibility:
Did you believe the information presented in the message?
Was there anything you did not believe? What was it? Did
you (rust the expertise of the characters who were presenting
the information (name program characters one at a time and
pause for answer) in the message? Why/why not?
Utility:
For what kind of person would this message be most useful?
Was there anything in the program that would be useful for
someone like you?
Did you learn anything new from this message? What did
you learn?
What information would you have liked the program/poster
to give you?
General suggestions:
Do you have any suggestions you would like to make to the team
who produced the poster/program on how to improve it?

Whether the procedure described—observation of pretest
audience exposure to the test message followed by interviewing—is
conducted individually or in groups or both depends on the medium.

attention-holding, if the pretest poster was displayed in the com­
munity for whom it is designed. Some of those who stop may be
willing to submit to five-minute individual interviews. After display
of draft messages and observation of exposure, the researcher
should conduct interviews with some individuals and groups, taking
care to include only members of the intended audience. This combi­
nation of observation, and individual and group interviews with
representative members of audience chosen in some random fashion
will provide the production team with a wealth of information.

UNICEF Pretesting Experiences
George McBean, Ane 1 laaland, and Sylvie Cohen, who have
been/are with UNICEF, have produced useful guidelines for
communications designers from their pretesting experiences.
The following are perennial favorites from I laaland’s work in
Nepal:6
Graphic artists frequently draw a ‘bubble’ over a person’s
head to let literate audiences know what the illustrated char­
acter is thinking or saying. Newly literate Nepalese villagers
could read the text but were not familiar with the bubble as a
graphic convention. They thought this symbol was a garlic pod.
Media producers and pediatricians are often urban dwellers
while development communication audiences arc frequently
rural. It was, therefore, natural for an urban pediatrician and
artist Io show a rural-looking mother using an urban artifact
(a teaspoon) in a poster highlighting proper infant-feeding
practices. Not surprisingly, pretest audiences wondered
whether the poster was urging them to buy teaspoons and to
abandon the traditional practice of the village mother who
feeds her child with her fingers. An incidental aspect that did not
fit into the local culture thus became the center of attention.
Symbols from Western graphic conventions such as the
skull and crossbones, check marks (V), and crosses (X) used
by urban-based artists in Nepal were also not understood by
new literates in rural areas. If usable alternative rural symbols
understood over large areas do not exist, George McBean
(now in UNICEF, Barbados) suggests lendiing the meaning
of new symbols before using them.

Using Pretest Data
Building pretesting into the process of message design in media pro­
duction requires time, effort, and resources. Grass roots organiza­
tions that use mass media as aids to community organization, self­
development, and self-management are motivated to ensure the
communicability of their messages. Large media production depart­
ments in government organizations see media production as their
goal—whether their product communicates or not after it leaves
their studios is frequently irrelevant as long as the boss and the
minister like it. Audience research activities in such units rarely
contribute to preproduction and midproduction decisions. When
they do, what should the production team do with pretest findings?
What should the media producer and audience researcher in the
grass roots organization do?
If attention is low, change the format. If samples do not under­
stand the scriptwriter’s words and phrases, replace them with their
own words. If the major point of the message is not grasped,
remove the clutter, simplify the story, take out unnecessary characters,
dialogues, scenes, and illustrations. Find different ways of re­
inforcing one central point. If the message is low on credibility,
check what is wrong with the content before changing the presenter.
If the sample does not think the information is useful, talk to the
subject expert: check what the audience indicated its needs were,
and see if the message can respond to them better.

How a Format for a Local News Program was Selected
In 1980, the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation’s new radio
station in Central Jamaica was eager to design its local news
program such that it was high on attention, comprehension,
utility, and credibility. Audience lifestyle and values data
indicated the need to explain the news in the locally spoken
form of Jamaican English. What was also clear was that few
audience members expected a station that was part of a net­
work run out of the Prime Minister’s office to tell the truth.
What were the options for the production team?
The first decision was to present news and publicize events
from I lie station’s coverage area brought in by local residents

j 194

Designing Messages for Development Communication

and local agencies only. The next action involved the gener­
ation of three alternative program formats: straight reading
of the news in British English as headquarters and the Western/
urban-oriented producers wanted, a reading of the news in
the local patois, and a straight reading of the headlines in
British English followed by a dramatized discussion of selected
items by three villagers who met at the bus stop every even­
ing to understand what the day’s happenings meant for them.
Producers designed three alternative formats for the same
content. Researchers tested them by playing back audio cas­
settes in the villages surrounding the radio transmitter. Eour
villages in two distinct geographical-cultural regions of the
coverage area were sampled; all available residents were inter­
viewed as they were found, in groups or individually. Tire
researcher followed the observation-and-interview procedure
presented earlier in this chapter. The majority of the tested
listeners in all age. occupation, sex, and cultural-geographic
audience segments preferred the dramatic discussion-in-thcpatois version of the news.7

How Do Industrially Advanced Countries
Conduct Pretests?
The technology used in pretesting will depend on the availability of
resources, and how serious the organization is about ensuring that
meaning is shared between sender and receiver. The Children’s
Television Workshop in New York designed a science education
series entitled 3-2-1 Contact for 8- to 12-year olds. Researchers
used several different methods of testing existing science films and
television shows and two sets of five specially designed test shows.
The purpose was to assess the appeal (boring/interesting) of each
segment, the appeal of characters (the cast) in the program, the
comprehension of each segment, and the utility of the program for
home viewing and school viewing."
During exposure to a program, children indicated whether a
segment was boring or interesting every ten seconds. Each child
indicated his/her choice by pressing a key on his/her wireless, a

| Pretesting Audience Response

T95~|

battery-powered hand unit resembling a calculator. The child used
the same keypad to respond to questions about favorite segments
and characters. At the end of each session, researchers collected
the hand units and transferred the data to a microcomputer and
diskette for analysis and storage. This Program Evaluation and
Analysis Computer system does away with the need to write responses
or have individual interviewers per viewer. Another advantage is
that results arc available in fifteen minutes after data collection for
display in colorful formats on a television monitor. Producers caii
simultaneously view each ten-second program segment on one screen
and the audience’s intercsting/bormg response to it on another.
Additional methods of testing appeal included segment voting
and triplet voting. Segment voting required viewers to choose the
best and least liked segments after viewing them. This final retro­
spective judgement is useful in cases where different segments
have received similar responses on the program analyzer. Children
were also asked to select the most and least liked segment from
among a set of three (triplet) one-minute excerpts showing different
topics.
Small group interviews, the freeze-frame technique, and children's
re-narrations tested the comprehension of program messages, in
small group interviews, a researcher used a common set of prepared
questions to probe in-depth perceptions of program material with
three or four children per group. When researchers find compre­
hension of a particular event or segment is in question, they freeze
the frame on the screen to probe what has happened in the story so
far. Children who have viewed the program once provide the
narration on the second viewing when the sound is turned off, to
check comprehension of the whole program and the establishment
of transitions between segments.
What is impressive about the testing of this series is the meticulous
attention paid to detail exemplified by the many different ways of
checking on both comprehension and appeal before finalizing what
a series is going to contain. The US commercial television
networks present a contrast in how they test their entertainment
series. The primary goal is attention-getting and attention-holding
in order that maximum audiences will be exposed to the advertising;
the larger the audiences, the higher the advertising rates for the
particular program slot, and hence the higher the revenues of the
broadcasting company.

in addition to stimulating audience analysis of strategic
timing, i.e., when it is time to act. The message design
team must prepare the audience for the inevitable violent
backlash when mobilizing the community to change the
distribution of land and industrial wealth. Ethical reasoning
would demand primary concern for the well-being of the
audience, and provision of all relevant information to
make their own decisions.
3. Is the Information Appropriate? Audience surveys among
the poor in Santiago, Chile were used in 1976 to select
topics for episodes of the radio and television drama called
Sentencia. The plot focused on a group of altruistic lawyers
who ran a legal clinic in a poor neighborhood. Audience re­
search helped determine the appropriateness of problems
and solutions presented.9 Some cultures consider the fat baby
and the fat man to be healthy and prosperous. Therefore,
media content that aims at introducing low-fat diets needs
to address the dangers of obesity and will hence have to deal
with the prevailing ‘fat is wealth and prosperity’ concept.
Many useful tips require capital, purchasing power, and a
change in the power structure of society. Recommendations

in agriculture frequently call for such things as hybrid seeds,
fertilizer, irrigation, and tractor rentals. The less educated,
less wealthy majority in agricultural societies are most in
need of supportive information. Unfortunately, they find
messages designed for them often require large landholdings
and significant capital for their utilization. Such media
content is inconsistent with the economic status of the
audience. Why use an expensive medium that reaches
massive numbers to carry capital-intensive information that
is appropriate only for a small capital-owning minority of
the community? Such audience-insensitive uses of the media
have led to the advancement of the law and a widening of
information gaps between the many poor and the few rich.
Programing that discriminates positively by dealing with
topics useful to the many, that are redundant for the pro­
pertied classes, can help bridge the gap.10
Today's media content frequently finds itself contradicting
yesteryear’s programs and posters. The lack of comprehensive
media information on the lethal implications for humans
when paddy pesticides are ingested resulted in a crippling

149

bone disease among agricultural labor families in the Malnad
region of Karnataka in India. The pesticides sprayed in the
paddy fields were ingested by field crabs, which arc a
common part of the diet of farm labor belonging to the
lower castes." As research and development in science
proceeds, previous recommendations become obsolete,
even to the point of constituting today’s cautions. Fertilizers
and pesticides that were recommended five years ago are
now being spoken of as dangerous. The same is true for
the Daikon shield intrauterine contraceptive device. In
many areas of preventive health, e.g., heart disease, schizo­
phrenia, depression, and loneliness, there is inadequate
knowledge to generate strategics that are universally appli­
cable and reliable. As we advise audiences to replace their
present behavior with newer practices we must recognize
the confusion that contradictory advice often causes for
the audience. The media specialize in the dissemination of
generalizations. Presentation of‘why’ information (knowl­
edge of principles) in addition to ‘how-to’ information is
crucial, so that audience members can decide what is appro­
priate for their individual conditions.
4. Is the Information Simple? The more complex the message
content, the more difficult it is to present and to comprehend.
If the information is complex, media producers should
think in terms of a scries with each program or poster
making one or two points only. Rc|>ctition and recapitulation
become crucial when dealing with complex ideas.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The dominant topic selection procedure for development message
design consists of bureaucratic and technical experts listing their
solutions to other people’s problems for dissemination via the mass
media. Few of these experts stop Io ask about the nature of the
problem, or about its root causes, as opposed to its symptoms, so
that alternative solutions can be presented for the audience to
evaluate. Frequently, campaigns arc commissioned to deal with
what is perceived as a knowledge and attitude problem, when the

| 150

Designing Messages for Development Communication |

root cause is economic and political (c.g., national integration of
different linguistic groups).
How should a production team go about generating a list of alter­
natives that audiences will consider useful, timely, compatible, and
simple? Let us assume the production team begins with some idea
about whom they want to communicate with (e.g., farmers) and
what topics they want to deal with (e.g., agriculture). Such topic
selection could be the result of assignment by the Ministry of
Agriculture or it could be determined by the mandate of the
voluntary agency or grass roots organization for which the writer,
producer, and researcher work. Or it may be selected from lists,
such as Facts For Life. In the 1970s, experiments were conducted
with audio cassette listening forums. The women’s group in two
villages in Tanzania12 chose five leaders from among themselves
who were trained to study the needs and resources of their members.
The needs were then ranked and taped dramatizations of the
problems were used to elicit group discussion and development of
an action plan.
A media organization committed to facilitating community devel­
opment in its coverage area will begin the assessment of needs by
first observing, asking questions, and listening in the community.
The recommended procedure is to observe, conduct group inter­
views and then individual interviews in the community, to arrive at
a list of high-priority problems and information needs—e.g., land
to cultivate, enforcement of minimum wage laws, clean drinking
water. The message design audience participation chart in Chapter 6
is a good organizational device.
Sometimes, media agencies arc given a list of topics by the
government or by a voluntary agency. Either way, the team should
first establish what the audience knows, feels, and does on each
topic, and also what they want to know. Existing gaps in knowledge,
feeling, and behavior will be the take-off point for message design.
These gaps will be the baselines that evaluators will use to measure
changes triggered by exposure to media messages. An analysis of
gaps (needs) will help to focus the search for appropriate solutions.
The Third World preoccupation with acquiring technology and
trainers led to a neglect of whose knowledge should be transmitted
to bridge gaps—which class, which race, which nationality, which
gender. Wrong-headed faith in the neutrality of knowledge helped
ignore these structural bases of inequality.

Designers of needs assessment studies must recognize that
audiences cannot express a need or feel a lack of the resource or
solution they do not know about. Populations which have been living
in poverty for generations are resigned to hurt; they articulate few
demands beyond the basic minimum. Thus, visiting specialists may
see a need to provide specific information (e.g., about equal pay
for equal work) for which the audience may not express a need.
Media content that responds to needs that are clearly felt and
expressed by the audience naturally have a better chance of receiving
attention. Media messages that respond to needs felt and observed
only by outsiders have to first create an awareness of these needs
in the audience, before they can expect the audience to attend to
messages aimed at meeting these needs.
A large proportion of people around the world have been social­
ized into a ‘culture of silence’. They have adapted themselves to
the political, economic, and cultural structures of domination in
which they are immersed and have become resigned to it. Media
presentations of the oppressive situations in which such people live
may be used to trigger community reflection, a yearning for change,
and discussions about the causes of the problem, and how to trans­
form oppressive structures. Media portrayals here arc facilitators,
not teachers. Many educators in the Paulo Freire tradition have
used photographs, printed materials, videos, audio cassettes, and
puppet shows to help peasant audiences in remote areas to start a
critical dialogue with those around them on the nature of their
world: who owns it, who controls it, in whose interest it functions,
and what to do about it
Some community problems have no solution (e.g., AIDS);
information education and communication are the only contri­
bution. In fact, for many villages, mass media-delivered agriculture,

152

Designing Messages for Development Communication

health, and nutrition information may be their only development
inputs.15 Context-consonant interventions such as science and
math education do not require any changes in prevailing social
divisions of caste, class, gender, and ethnic origin and can thus
make substantial contributions on their own. However, there are
basic community problems (e.g., hunger) that are caused by exist­
ing power structures, and are hence not amenable to solution by
media-provided information alone. Context-resistant communi­
cations need social and political organizers on site to mobilize the
disadvantaged, if heightened consciousness is to lead to action.
Media presentation of situations where large agricultural land­
owners do not pay the legal minimum wage to their labor is a political
and economic intervention that is dissonant with the context.
Televised exposes of offending landowners caused the latter to
raze the huts of workers who were interviewed by the Develop­
ment Education Communication Unit television crews in Khcda
district in India. The landowners then led a procession to the tele­
vision station to protest ‘inaccurate portrayals’ of landlords, lire
Canadian Film Board's Challenge for Change project used film and
video to mobilise adversarial groups to speak to each other. Radio,
television, audio cassettes, and video cassettes have since been
used by development activists and media producers around the
world, as they try to mediate between powerful decision makers
and comparatively less powerful local communities. An analysis of
audience needs must include an analysis of the nature of change
required to meet the needs: what are the tasks, how much can
the media handle alone, and how much support is needed from
face-to-face channels and a responsive power structure? Dynamite
is used to terrorize society, by bombing hospitals and homes. It is
also used to help build bridges. Similarly, audience research
methodology is a tool. Message designers can use it to address
genuine audience needs (e.g., to raise healthy babies) or to put
an audience-responsive veneer on products and services comm­
unities do not need.
This chapter has focused on establishing audience-responsive
message content for development message design. The next chapter
looks at audience-responsive message form and treatment: how
to communicate in words and images that arc familiar to the
audience.

INFORMATION COLLECTION GUIDELINES
1. Observe and Listen to a Carefully Selected
Sample Genuinely Representative of
the Intended Audience
Probability and sampling theory demonstrate how listening to
a small number of carefully selected members of the intended
audience can provide an acceptable idea of the characteristics of
o/Z its members. It is important that the number and kinds of people
selected in the sample be actually representative of the intended
audience, if the message is to communicate with them.
The simplest message design situation is when the intended
audience is homogeneous, e.g., small fanners who are similar to
each other in the languages they speak, the crops they cultivate,
and the size of their holdings. The reality of communication via the
fnass media is more complex: even ‘small’ media like local radio
stations that cover a small land area actually reach a range of small.
farmers. Like every other occupational group, small fanners differ
among themselves. These differences may be due to differences

120

Designing Messages for Development Communication

in age. sex, caste, tribe, religion, economic status, who their
friends and advisors are, what media they are exposed to, and
a whole host of other factors. If a production team is hoping to
communicate with all these different segments in the same mes­
sage or series of messages, it must first listen to a representative
few from each segment to understand if they differ among them­
selves on media exposure, preferred communication treatment
of the topic, e.g., raising pigs for supplementary income. If initial
investigations indicate that they do differ, the team will need to
interview a sample of twenty-five to thirty-five people from each
major segment to get a good understanding of the different pers­
pectives in each segment. The differences may be inconsequential
on this topic, and hence justify a single series of messages, perhaps
with different component parts. There is always the possibility that
the differences dictate separate messages/materials/media for each
segment. The development agency (government or voluntary) will
then calculate whether the benefit of separate messages (better
chances of achieving communication) is greater than the added
cost. The team should ensure that the separate strategy for each
group does not have negative effects on the others, if there is an
overlap in exposure.
Sampling systematically in multiple stages (e.g., villages first,
then households, then individuals) helps achieve representation of
the diversity of the audience population. The person doing the
research should first circle on a map the physical area where the
selected media audience lives. The next step is to write down the
names of all the villages (residential settlements) from the map. If
the primary concern is reaching small farmers in rural areas, ponder
the following: will differences in geography, religion, or gender of
the farmer (or any other factor) cause the intended audience of
small farmers to differ in their response to the message? If regional
factors cause significant differences in the responses of individual
farmers, divide the residential areas into regional segments. If
culture is a significant factor, divide farmers into different cultural
segments. Sample from each segment. This stratification into
clusters helps guarantee representation of crucial differences
within the small farmer sample that the producer will dialogue with
before and during production. The researcher on the production
team is now ready to sample villages and then individual small
farmers from each chister/segment, in inujAle stages.

How to Research the Audience

121

2. Beware of Bias in Who You Listen to
How to select villages ami then farmers from each cluster without
showing a natural human bias towards approaching nearby villages
or people most like oneself who are easiest to talk to? How to
phrase questions so the audience knows that honest answers are
welcomed rather than polite agreement with the interviewer?
Let us assume time and transport resources are restricted to eight
day-long audience visits. Let us also assume that the researchers
find that there are four distinct segments in their intended small
farmer audience. They therefore consider visiting two villages from
each cluster. I low should they select eight villages from among the
ninety-nine villages in this cluster? 'Hie researcher needs to number
each of the villages. I le/she then selects any number by taking a
stab at the following random numbers table blindfolded. The
two-digit number (because there are no more than ninety-nine
villages) closest to where the pencil lands will be Village One.
Select the second village by going up, down, left, or right from
the first stab at the table, but decide on the direction, e.g., up and
then left or right, or down and then right or left, before starting the
sample selection process.
Suppose the team does not have a map of the coverage area and
cannot make a list of all the communities in its radius. Suppose
there is no travel time to visit randomly selected villages which
could turn out to be far from headquarters and off bus routes. Such
problems force researchers to be pragmatic. How should the re­
searchers honor the twin criteria of sample representativeness and
bias-free selection of individuals in attempts to learn from the
audience?
Quota or convenience samples are a possible choice. In a quota
sampling situation, a fixed number of villages or individuals are
selected in each cluster without concern for probability issues. In
convenient sampling, villages and individuals are selected from
accessible locations These approaches necessarily have the obvious
weakness of not being representative of the larger population, so
they must be interpreted with caution. If time permits a visit to
only one village on a bus route, how should the researcher proceed?
Bear in mind that communities closer to cilies have more exposure

to information, education, and visitors from the outside world than
communilies whi<^^rc further away. Why not purposively pick the

largest village from among the furthest, and then select small fanners
from each of the different cultural and agricultural strata that
might react differently? To guarantee representation from the range
of different cultural and economic groups who live in different parts
of large villages, randomly select farm households from each of the
different residential sections of the village. 'Illis is one way to handle
time and travel constraints without completely giving up on attempts
to draw representative unbiased samples.
The important thing is not to select or reject a village or a person
because of some bias or preference. Several other solutions arc
possible, in the spirit of 'randomness', depending on the local
situation. On arrival in each village, use the same impersonal
mechanical process to ensure that personal preferences do not bias
the procedure for the selection of farmers. If there arc 5(X) small
farm families and there is time to talk to only thirty, select the
sample of thirty as well by using the table of random numbers.
For preproduction and midproduction message design research.
listening to twenty-five to thirty-five randomly selected members
of a distinct segment in the intended audience should suffice. If no
majority position or general pattern of agreement or disagreement
emerges on the topic after thirty-five interviews, the researcher
may want to continue interviewing, or reconsider (he questions.
Personal biases and preferences express themselves in a variety
of unobtrusive ways in conducting research that the team may not
notice initially. When the researcher decides to go to observe a
village where someone has friends who will arrange introductions
to audience members, some may regard this to be a practical time­
saving strategy. By doing this, the team is letting friendships deter­
mine the 'source' of information. Friends of friends will be friendly
people, but they may not be typical of the intended audience. Thus.
who the team talks to can also bias or distort findings.
Additionally, the kinds of questions asked of the audience, the
phrasing of the questions, the topics of the questions, and the
issues not included on the list of things to observe arc a reflection
of researcher bias. With the phrasing of a question as follows.
'Your employer looks like a nice guy. He treats his workers well.
doesn't he?’ the researcher is indicating a preference for a certain
kind of answer. M<my employees will politely agree rather than
risk losing their jol^^l hat is a leading question, indicating a pre­
ferred answer; it illustrates biased question design.

3. Use a Combination of Information
Collection Methods

.<•

It is feasible to collect data on audience knowledge, attitude, and
practice through many methods, in addition to large sample surveys,
. as described in the next section. Some methods provide a picture
( of the total situation while others help to get a close-up shot of
each part. Some methods present statistical descriptions, others
provide qualitative insights. Some methods give depth, others provide
breadth. The psychologist’s and sociologist’s methods are those of
the outsider, different from the anthropologist who gets immersed
in the community. Each method has its own limitations, so com­
bining methods helps counteract the biases of individual methods.

4. Be Pragmatic
Audience research in the service of message tiesign is constrained
by deadlines, and the availability of budgets, just as media pro­
duction is. The utility of this research depends on whether it con­
tributes to effective communication, and not whether it qualifies
for journal publication. Il is better to provide some rough-and-ready
insights on the intended audience's concerns, rather than have
^grandiose research plans that provide no help to message design
for national transformation.
( To summarize, the touchstones of good audience research are
I representation of the diversity of the audience, objectivity, the use
I of multiple methods of information collection, and pragmatism.
< Now, the production team is ready to choose which methods it will
use to collect information on its audience.

INFORMATION COLLECTION METHODS
Some audience research methods yield results faster and cost less
than others; others are more reliable but may take longer to com­
plete. Time, money, and staff availability play a major role in
selection of research methods. The researcher should always try

to use more than one method to understand the audience, so the
strengths of one will complement the limitations of the other. I low
to plan? Table 6.2 presents a simple chart to plan audience partici­
pation in message design. On the left hand, the production team
lists the information it needs from the audience under the 'what to
communicate’ and ‘how to communicate’ headings. Questions that
need to be answered for midproduction testing of draft messages
are the same, irrespective of the message. The researcher uses the
next two columns to list which methods will be used to answer each
question. Whichever methods are chosen, it is essential to ensure
that the information is a valid representation of the audience’s
responses. National transformation efforts cannot be based on the
audience researcher’s biases (or those of the boss of the develop­
ment agency). Some information is not better than no information,
if it is inaccurate, distorted, and partial.
Once the media production team has listed questions, how should
they proceed to answer them?

researchers have investigated this topic/audience before. Read
their findings in libraries, universities, and government offices.
Anthropologists, sociologists, and social work researchers may have
assessed the needs of some of the communities in a particular
medium's coverage area—wny not peruse their reports on what
the audience wants to know, and what their cultural practices are?
Before going to the audience to collect information afresh, learn
from the impacts of messages and materials that have been used in
the past. This will save time, money, and mistakes, and provide
clues on what to look for during field visits.
Be sure to use the guidelines mentioned earlier when reviewing
previous work: does it represent the diversity of the intended
audience, is it objective, are the findings biased because only one
kind of data collection method was used that provides only partial
insights? The quantity of acceptable previous research will deter­
mine how much new data has to be collected.

munity and the issues.

received from other sources. Be skeptical about every piece of in­

The following are basic guidelines on sources and methods of
audience data collection:

3. Observe the Audience before Beginning

Books, Reports, Census Documents,
and Media Programs

Listening attentively, putting preconceptions aside, is not easy. It
requires respecting others, recognizing their autonomy, keeping
quiet. Audiences are people who live active lives, making their
own decisions all day, everyday, just like media producers. The
production team should pay attention to the audience, their words

and stories, their conversations, speeches, songs, poems, and local
publications, to understand how to communicate with them. Listen­
ing and observation as information collection methods help to
describe the general picture. Researchers can then move from ask­
ing questions to confirming observed patterns and to making the
general to the particular with inquiries about why specific practices
or habits exist Additionally, why waste the audience’s time with
questions about the cleanliness of pit latrines when the answer is
obvious to the naked eye? First, listen and observe, and thcit ask
questions.
flic ideal would be to observe behavior as a participant in the
daily life of the community. Such participant observation is the
anthropologist's method and provides an approximation of the
community’s perspective. Many anthropologists argue that a
minimum of several months of participant observation is critical
for reliable data collection. Other anthropologists with experience
in specific areas (c.g.. applied health care, agriculture, nutrition,
education) have become convinced that the process of gathering
essential ethnographic data has to be a relatively rapid process,
given time and budget constraints when planning national trans­
formation in the Thirld World. Data from rapid ethnographic
assessment is clearly inadequate for a thorough analysis of local
sociocultural systems but start visits after a review of literature
can provide basic information about cultural altitudes and
behaviors toward a particular topic (e.g., village self-government.
diarrhea).
Plan observation trips carefully: before choosing where to go, list
what and who to observe, ami plan how to observe and record
observations. The more clearly structured the observation trip, the
more productive it will be in answering specific questions about
specific locations (e g . farms, schools, stores, streets, homes) and
specific relationships (e g., the farmer-land relationship, the male­
female relationship, the teacher-student relationship). Plan for
enough leeway in terms of extra time and petrol to take in un­
expected sights, sounds, and accidents. A structured observation
plan with flexibility that makes allowances for shocks and surprises
is good.
Be sure to observe as unobtrusively as possible. Do not dress
and behave in a maimer that might make the audience react to the
team’s presence and begin Io behave diJjwcnlly from the way (hey

normally would. Walk around, eat in local restaurants, drink in
pubs and cafes, worship with the people, and strike up casual
conversations at the bus stand: dress and behave to fit in with the
local scene, lire team (or its research person) is visiting the audience
to learn from them, not to impress them with thcit ‘superior’ clothes
and upbringing. Be as invisible as is possible (or a stranger to be.
I his is hard for both foreign and domestic researchers on their first
trip to a community.
Many producers, researchers, and subject specialists cannot
tolerate being anonymous and invisible—they like to be greeted
and hailed as ‘big people' wherever they go. Some people (c.g..
news presenters) may be so well-known all over that they would
disturb the normal pattern of life under observation no matter
how much they tried to fit in unobtrusively. Both kinds of people
arc liabilities and hindrances: neither should be entrusted with
collecting audience data or accompanying audience research
teams.
Researchers should not trust their memory to recall what they
have observed. Document sights and sounds as soon as possible.
Unobtrusive observation should be followed by unobtrusive docu­
mentation of observations. Some observers use liny cameras and
cassette recorders in addition to observation forms and note­
books. The richer the detail, (he more information is available for
scripting dialogues, choosing locally appropriate characters, and
building sets.
Some communication units have developed 'field laboratories' or
audience ‘panels’ consisting of randomly selected villages and villagers
with specific characteristics, The team returns regularly to the same
community when it needs information from a sample that matches its
characteristics, c.g., age, sex, income, occupation, language. The
returning researcher becomes a known and trusted visiting member
of the community over time, and has chances of collecting lifestyle
and needs assessment data that a first-time visitor could never get.
Rather (han starting from scratch on each visit, this system enables
the researcher to build on rapport established over a period
of lime.
While good observation can describe reality, it may not be able
to fully explain why things are the way they arc. [his leads the
production team to the interview method of information collection
as a logical follov^k to observation.

4. Interview Groups and Individuals
in the Intended Audience to
Understand the Causes of Attitudes
and Behaviors
Transformation-oriented communication campaigns need to
establish the audience's reasons for particular behaviors Useful
interviews are often a combination of folly formulated questions
‘structured’ in advance Io be asked in a prearranged order, and
loosely structured questions left to the discretion of the interviewer
to formulate. Useful interviews depend on well-trained interviewers.
A. Interviews with groups of audience members should be planned
around a list of wluit-to-ask-about issues where the precise wonting
of questions is left to the judgement of an interviewer sensitive
to the local situation. Ideally, they should be drafted in the lan­
guage of the community, since language is an expression of logic,
premises, basic categories, thinking, sensitivities and worldview.
Since a lot is lost in translation, the interviewer must be a native
speaker from the community. The interviewer is then free to go
in depth and focus on specific why-and-how issues in the lifestyle
and behavior of the audience, depending on how the discussion
flows. A variation on group discussions, this method of infor­
mation collection is often called the group depth interview or the
focus group interview. The ability to probe into community atti­
tudes and practices with a group of community members is (he
strength of the group interview method. Such probing in an indi­
vidual interview might make the individual very uncomfortable
and lead to defensive answers rather than explanations of com­
munity attitudes and practices. The findings emerge from conver­
sations among group members, and not from question-answer
interactions between the interviewer and audience members.
Ideally, focus group interviews should be conducted in a quiet,
informal atmosphere where eight Io twelve audience members from
similar backgrounds (e g., male farmers over 50 years of age ot
house-bound mothers with infants) respond to the moderator’s
questions in a relaxed manner for one to two hours. A group that is
too small may not provide the security and stimulation required
for a group Io discuss sensitive issues, while a large group may

|J1 j

become unmanageable. Differences in age, sex, education, income,
and occupation within a group make it more difficult for eight to
twelve people to feel comfortable interacting with each other on
the same wavelength. While a street corner is not a good place for
an in depth group discussion because it is noisy, a classroom with
chairs may be bad because it is loo formal.
The success of focus groups depends on the selection of an appro­
priate group discussion leader or moderator', someone who is res­
pectful of people, good at getting strangers to talk, encouraging
the quiet ones and restraining the dominating ones. The moderator
must be someone who is able to rephrase questions in the vocabulary
of the group at the spur of the moment, someone who is a good
listener. After getting each member to introduce himself/herself,
the good moderator will present anecdotes that illustrate how
useful such audience participation has been for message develop­
ment in the past. The moderator then introduces the questions for
discussion, one after the other. The flexibility that is the strength
of this information collection method depends on the availability
of an appropriate discussion leader.
Group interview guidelines must be tailored to meet local conditions.
I he agrarian context frequently consists of men and women who go
to their farms at dawn and return tired at dusk. Older children who
are not in school stay home tending their younger brothers and sisters.
An unplanned group interview with diverse audience members at
central locations such as bus stands, stores, and health centers
does not permit a sustained constructive focus. A specially organized
discussion with a homogeneous group (that implies that they stay
away from their fields or attend an after-dinner meeting under a
kerosene lantern) sometimes requires the payment of a respectable
honorarium. It is wise to lake the time at the start to establish
good personal rather than financial relations. Il is preferable to
schedule the visits at times that respect local work routines and use
naturally occurring homogeneous groups as partners in message
design for local and national development; the custom of payment
for information (transferred from market research to development
communication audience research) assumes a transactional relation­
ship that is alien to notions of community self-development.
A member of the production team should be responsible for
silently observing the discussion and systematically documenting the
proceedings on a notepad or tape recorder. At the end of each

When in-depth information on the whys and wherefores of audi­
ence behavior is too sensitive to be accurately obtained through
group interviews, or when group interviews cannot be organized,
in-depth interviews with members representing each audience seg­
ment in the media coverage area may have to be considered. A
number of ‘indirect’ techniques based on projection are useful in
obtaining sensitive information in individual interviews. One simple
way is to ask audience members what they think their neighbors or
friends know, feel, and do on a sensitive issue, thus permitting
them to project their own views on to third parties like themselves
without ‘censoring’ their answers for respectability. Another simple
way of finding out if program titles and character names have the
connotations that the production team wishes to conjure up, is by
asking for word associations. The interviewer presents the audience
member with a word at a time and asks him/her to name the other
words that come to mind immediately afterwards. A summary of
the responses from audience members will tell the scriptwriter
whether the word has a happy or sad association for the audience,
a hot or cold association, a colorful or a bland association, in com­
parison with the associations hc/she wants. Sentence and story
completion tests can be used by message design teams to under­
stand the audience’s feelings and attitudes towards a particular
program topic, medium, group, government, or nation. The inter­
viewees are asked to complete incomplete sentences such as:
‘Large landowners are...
‘ Vaccinations cause...
‘Sterilization causes...
‘Today's labor are...’
Or complete stories related to the program topic such as the
following:

‘Two 6-year olds were out on llteir bicycles. One bicycle had a
flat tire’.
What happened then? The writer of a series for 6-year olds may
want to find out how this age group responds to such a problem
before introducing any creative do-it-yourself tips. Photographs of
alternative on-air presenters and cast members can be presented to

136

Designing Messages Tor Development Communication

a sample of the audience to check on how they arc perceived in
comparison with the producer's perceptions. Audience reactions
to photographs and incomplete stories and sentences provide
plots, words, and sentences that are extremely useful for script­
writers.
To reduce the time involved in going from farm to farm conducting
personal interviews in agrarian societies where domestic telephones
are rare, many production teams intercept individuals nt central
Incatinns where they gather. In a village in Asia or Africa, a good
place to find women would be at the village well or stream, the
marketplace, or the health center. In the Caribbean, central loca­
tions would include the post office, the church, and the rum bar.
While intercepting individuals at high traffic areas saves time, the
public location also implies a less private interview. The procedure
for conducting individual interviews at central locations involves
selecting places frequented by members of the audience and
stationing interviewers there. Potential interviewees arc politely
greeted and invited to participate in an interview lasting a specified
number of minutes. If they can spare the time required, the inter­
viewer asks screening questions to ensure they fit in with criteria
set for the intended audience, c.g., illiterate landless labor. The
interview takes place only if the individual is a member of the
intended audience for the program under development.
