An Integrated Model of Media Selection in Strategic Communication Campaigns

By Anna V. Klyueva

This study advocates an integration of media richness theory into the public relations scholarship. This study adds two additional dimensions to the description of a medium’s richness-rich communication and poor communication. This four-dimensional model of media richness (rich medium, lean medium, rich communication, and poor communication) may predict the media selection of public relations practitioners more precisely.
