How will you close your knowledge gap, Is your mind geared to re-think what you think you
know?
Solution
The knowledge gap theory was first proposed by Tichenor, Donohue and Olien at the University
of Minnesota in the 70s. They believe that the increase of information in society is not evenly
acquired by every member of society: people with higher socioeconomic status tend to have
better ability to acquire information (Weng, S.C. 2000). This leads to a division of two groups: a
group of better-educated people who know more about most things, and those with low
education who know less. Lower socio-economic status (SES) people, defined partly by
educational level, have little or no knowledge about public affairs issues, are disconnected from
news events and important new discoveries, and usually aren’t concerned about their lack of
knowledge.
Core Assumptions and Statements
The knowledge gap can result in an increased gap between people of lower and higher
socioeconomic status. The attempt to improve people’s life with information via the mass
media might not always work the way this is planned. Mass media might have the effect of
increasing the difference gap between members of social classes.
