Finding a tone that resonates with everyone isn't a piece of cake. It's not an easy thing to do. However, it's not impossible. A careful, detailed research on the audience will go a long way to discover topics that are easily relatable to the diverse audience.

We should know the needs of the society, which is more comprehensive, and be careful not to talk in a way that is specific to a certain age. It is better that with all the differences between different ages, we can still find a common interest and conversation circle and talk to the audience that way. For example, "kindness" is the common language of generations or "love" always has its own charm, after finding a common interest, it is better to reach a common language that we can express it simply and fluently.

When I submitted op-eds to the Wall Street Journal, I realized I had to make my writing sound more “adult”—polished and severe enough to match the expectations of their audience. As a young writer, I worked to meet that challenge while staying true to my voice. Older writers face a similar challenge when they try to connect with younger readers—but they can simplify without losing their style. For me, it was about finding that balance, and I think good writers can do the same without sacrificing what makes their writing unique.

Estude o público que quer atingir previamente, com toda a sua diversidade. N?o espere surpresas de leitores pelos quais você nem soube como alcan?á-los. Você precisa saber ANTES como deverá se comunicar para atingir seu alvo de comunica??o. Velha regra da escrita e da oratória: n?o basta preparar o que apresentar, você deve se preparar para como apresentar.

I focus on tailoring content to resonate with each group—like using nostalgic references for older audiences and interactive or trendy formats for younger ones. It’s also about balancing platforms—email for older folks, Instagram for Gen Z, and blending storytelling that appeals to shared values across the board.
