In recent years the reception theory of mass media discourse (message), which shares a concern for exploring or predicting the variable interpretation of information or of cultural context, has become an active field for mass communication research and theory, but its results are still somewhat elusive. For the development of the reception theory, I have tried in this paper to raise some problems about the reception processes of the audience as decoder, paying attention to the strategies of the mass media, and taking up an example of television viewers. Before raising the problems about the analysis of reception by the audience, it is necessary for us to examine the strategies of the media. In the beginning of this examination, we have to make clear whether or not the strategies of the media are made up by the media themselves, or are the intention of something else, for example the government, behind the media, or whether they are a result of the collusion of the latter with the former. The next step is to analyze some strategies of the media themselves. The strategies are accomplished by sequences of moves that try to realize goals as effectively as possible. Media tend to strategically represent media discourses as a move in the forms of "reality-deviation", "fragmentation","displacing", "masking" and etc. on the one hand, and in the forms of "ommssion" or "missing" concerning the crucial information for the audiences on the other. We have to be aware of the strategies of the media in this combination of moves, that is, the positive move on the one hand, and the negative move on the other. Considering the above point, media discourses should be analyzed according to the following points, as H. H. Davis tried to do: "Who is speaking?", "What are they saying?" and "What do they mean?". The next problem is to explore the way by which the audiences behave (react) to the discourses. We have to deal with two problems here. The first is the problem which D. Morey raised in his work, "Family Television" (Comedia, 1986), concerning the structural distribution of cultural competence which is related to the work of Pierre Bourdieu (French socio1ogist). Furthermore, we have to deal with the problem of the audiences' intentional or unintentional interpretation of the media discourses through collusion with the senders of the media. Finally, our tasks are to improve our frames of reception and interpretation of media discourses and to collectively construct these critical frames of reception ancl interpretation vis-a-vis the media through social interaction. It is also our task to activate our criticism of the nedia and to raise the norms of media performances through public opinion of the media.
