Uses and gratifications theory - personal media

 Uses and gratifications theory - personal media  Personal relationships - I gain a sense of inclusion and reliability talking with my friends about tv series 'Breaking bad'  Personal identity - Looking at the vogue youtube channel series 'extreme beauty routine' gratifies my need for 'personal identity' Escapism - I watch 'Ru Paul's drag race' for escapism, especially when I'm feeling sad. The lightheartedness, campy humour, extreme costumes, makeup and personalities allow me to escape the realities of feeling sad or having a bad day. Entertainment - I gain entertainment from watching tv series on netflix by myself when I get home from school; 'Orange Is The New Black' at the moment. Information/ surveillance - I learn a lot of my academic music information on the history of composers life and art/ music eras through history on wikipedia, therefore my need for surveillance and information is gratified through this website.
