Social media and political communication: a social media analytics framework (2012, background): “In a survey of 3,747 blog readers, who were generally young in age and highly educated, Kaye (2005) finds the trend that blogs were basically a medium for political information seeking and participation.”
How Audiences Seek Out Crisis Information: Exploring the Social-Mediated Crisis Communication Model (2012, background): “More narrowly looking at blogs, primary motivations for accessing blogs include: information seeking and media checking, convenience, personal fulfillment, political surveillance, social surveillance, and expression and affiliation (Kaye, 2005).”
A Little Bird Told Me, So I Didn't Believe It: Twitter, Credibility, and Issue Perceptions (2012, background): “Readers have differing motivations, particularly information seeking and media checking, convenience, personal fulfillment, political surveillance, social surveillance, and expression and affiliation (Kaye, 2005).”
Understanding the appeal of user-generated media: a uses and gratification perspective (2009, background): “Such communication modes as e-mail and message boards allow people to interact with each other without space and time constraints (see Burgoon et al., 2000; Kaye, 2005; McKenna and Bargh, 2000).”
Going to the Blogs: Toward the Development of a Uses and Gratifications Measurement Scale for Blogs (2010, methodology): “…studies that relied on preexisting motivational items that were used for investigating the Internet as a whole (Johnson, Kaye, Bichard, & Wong, 2007; Kaye, 2005; Kaye & Johnson, 2006), this descriptive study draws blog use motivations from open-ended responses to a preliminary survey (Kaye, 2007).”
