KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!



No arguments, but I like to rephrase this truism as "Empathize with your audience" or "Learn to imagine yourself in the audience's position." These rephrasings make plain the idea implicit in "Know your audience."

"For this land that you leave has had too many martyrs,
Too many people who've perished in vain,
Too many ships slipping out of the harbours,
With cargoes that never came homeward again.
