When deciding what types of information to gather, determining what information the audience needs to move forward is an example of what?

Explanation:

Audience perspective describes the speaker's need to focus on the audience and what they actually need. It is opposed to speaker's perspective where the speaker might only be concerned with what he has to say and not what the audience needs to hear. It filters down from the producer-consumer situation where the producer would be in a better position to get larger market share if he knows what the consumer needs and sees products from the consumer's perspective.
