The first major audience I think my piece would be relevant for is the community of Carlsbad, NM. Carlsbad is the town located closest to the WIPP. The people of Carlsbad are the people who potentially could be the most affected by the WIPP. A good place to address the people of Carlsbad would be through their newspaper, The Current-Argus. Another place where the content of my project could be communicated would be at a local town hall meeting. The town hall meetings are often used to communicate with concerned citizens of Carlsbad about the status of WIPP.

The second major group that my piece would affect would be law makers in Washington, D.C. It is difficult to say how to target these people. One way is by communicating directly with my representatives via a letter. Another way to target law makers is by getting my piece published in an opinion column in a prominent news paper such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, etc.
