The “repertoire”; of information sources

Abstract

“Information source”; studies presumed that media exposure led to different attitudes and behaviors. Recent research suggests that motivations and interests lead to the selection of a set of information sources. Using ten topics this study focused on the relation of the interest people had in these topics and the sources they selected for information about the topics. As interest in a topic increased so did the number of sources, and as interest changed so did the information “repertoire.”
