AUDIENCE THEORY

Uses and Gratifications

The basic theme of uses and gratifications is the idea that people

actively use the media to get specific satisfaction and fulfil certainneeds.

Different people can use the same communication message for very

different purposes. The same media content may gratify different needs

for different individuals. There is not only one way that people use

media. (Bulmer and Katz 1974)
