Uses and Gratification


  • Blamer and Katz researched how and why people select certain media products over other
  • They came up with 4 main uses:

           -Information
           -Relationships
           -Entertainment
           -Identity

  • Entertainment: offers distraction from the world.
  • Personal identity: Helps us consider who we are; what ideas and values we identify with.
  • Relationships: Find things we can share and discuss with others.
  • Information: New information we want to know or take pleasure in knowing.
