Flower Power Audience Analysis

The photographer behind the photo, Bernie Boston was currently working for the LA Times Washington Star. Consequently, he intended the audience to be the readers of the LA Times Washington Star i.e. DC and surrounded area residents. The paper never published his photograph, instead he entered and become a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize. Consequently, his audience expanded to the citizens of the United States. Perhaps even more specifically, his audience became the cultured class of the United States, as the Pulitzer Prize is awarded based on cultural achievements. Artists, musicians, and journalists alike are likely to be more liberal so they would be likely to relate to the message of the young protester in the photo.
