The concept of audience is an important factor when making the assessment on whether a piece of writing is good or bad. If a piece is meant to be informative it requires facts, quotations and valid information, unlike a piece that is meant to entertain and most often requires description and a certain level of interest. A piece of writing should be modified and tailored so that it is appropriate to the intended audience. Based on the intended audience, a piece of writing will have different requirements and should be assessed on whether it is good or bad based whether it follows the required criteria.
