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 certain needs. 

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)
