Before you launch your research,
you need to know who your potential audience is as well as what you

that you will present. Your audience also determines the depth of the
information that you will present, and the voice that you will present
it in. You would not communicate information the same way to your brothers

to an audience whose politics differ. Therefore, it is crucial to know
who your audience is before you start your research.
