- Abstract
- Addresses the issues of information seeking behaviour within the context of an information poor lifestyle, i.e. one in which the mass media are not viewed as providers of useful information and in which there is a parsimony of helpful interpersonal channels. Examines knowledge gap theory and concludes that, although the mass media are perceived as sources of information for some (the 'media rich'), they do not respond to the needs of the poor. Unfortunately, the role that interpersonal sources might play in this process have not been adequately addressed by knowledge gap researchers
