Theoretical Rationale
This study collectively uses the principles of social presence, media richness, and uses and gratifications theory to explain how messages reach an audience.  Specifically, this work is a summative evaluation that will assist public affairs officials to redirect the efforts of a current campaign or to direct the efforts of a developing scenario.  A hypothesis can be made about the public’s retention of strategic messages through three media channels.
