When receiving a request for information, why is it helpful to ask the requestor questions about how the information will be used?

A. To better uncover audience needs
B. To ensure information is ethical
C. To help find focus
D. To ensure information is accurate

The correct answer is: A. To better uncover audience needs

Asking the requestor questions about how the information will be used is pivotal for better uncovering audience needs. Understanding the specific context or purpose behind a request allows for a more tailored approach in providing the information. This dialogue can reveal what the requestor genuinely requires, whether it's detailed data, a summary, or insights geared towards a particular decision-making process. By gaining clarity on their objectives, the provider can ensure that the information delivered will be relevant and valuable to the audience, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of communication and supporting informed decisions. Focusing on the needs of the audience is fundamental in information literacy and communication, and leads to a more productive exchange between the requestor and the information provider.
