Explanation

The factors that affect mediated persuasion here are media differences (3), audience fragmentation (4) and message characteristics (5).

Media differences (3) matter because each medium carries and frames a persuasive message in its own way.

Audience fragmentation (4) matters because a split, scattered audience is harder to reach with one persuasive appeal.

Message characteristics (5) matter because wording, tone and structure shape how convincing a message is, while extended media reach (1) and round-the-clock communication (2) describe media availability rather than what drives persuasion itself.

Persuasion depends on how message, medium and audience meet.

Matching the message to a fragmented audience is a core challenge.
