'''Media richness theory''', sometimes referred to as '''information richness theory''', is a framework that can be used to describe a communications medium by describing its ability to reproduce the information sent over it. For example, a phone call will not be able to reproduce visual social cues such as gestures. This makes it inferior to video conferencing, which is able to communicate gestures, at least to some extent. More specifically, media richness theory states that the more ambiguous and uncertain a task is, the richer format of [[computer media|media]] is suitable to it. It is based on [[contingency theory]] and [[information processing theory]]. Essentially, it explains that richer, more personal means of communication are generally more effective at communication than leaner, less rich media.
'''''Moments of Love''''' is a [[List of Filipino films: 2000s|2006]] [[Cinema of the Philippines|Filipino]] [[romance film]] directed by [[Mark Reyes]], and released in March as a summer offering by [[GMA Films]].

The theory implies that, a sender can (and should) use the richest possible medium to communicate the desired message. In reality, senders are often forced to use less-rich methods of communication. Senders that use less-rich media of communication should understand the limitations of that medium in the dimensions of feedback, multiple cues, message tailoring, and emotions.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://learngen.org/resources/module/lgend101_norm1/200/210/211_3.html |title=Media Richness, Social Presence and Technology Supported Communication Activities in Education |accessdate=2007-09-04 |last=Newberry |first=Brian |year=2001 }}</ref>


== Synopsis ==
== Theory ==
Information richness is defined by Daft and Lengel as "the ability of information to change understanding within a time interval". Communications that can overcome different frames of reference and clarify ambiguous issues to promote understanding in a timely manner are considered more rich. Communications that take a longer time to convey understanding are less rich.
Marco ([[Dingdong Dantes]]) is a photographer covering a harvest festival in Lake Tabon. While on a photo shoot, a mysterious old woman is hit by a van while trying to save his life. He visits the woman and is drawn to her granddaughter Lianne ([[Karylle]]). Marco and Lianne start developing a relationship. But the recent events cause Marco to be withdrawn. He is haunted by a deep feeling of loneliness.


According to Daft and Lengel's theory, media richness is a function of (1) the medium's capacity for immediate feedback, (2) the number of cues and channels available, (3) language variety; and (4) the degree to which intent is focused on the recipient. The greater social presence of a medium creates a greater immediacy and warmth of the communication, because of the greater number of channels.
His yearning leads him to a telephone conversation with Divina ([[Iza Calzado]]), the daughter of a haciendero. They find solace from their sadness in each other, filling the emptiness they have always known all their lives. Unbeknown to them, they are living in the same provincial house but are separated by time; Divina lives in the past ([[1957]]) and Marco in the present ([[2006]]). They set a time to meet at [[Lake Tabon]] but of course, they do not meet.


== References ==
After two failed attempts, Marco discovers the truth: that Divina lives in the past. Marco is able to convince Divina of this truth and they accept their fate. However, Divina faces a great challenge as she is her engagement is arranged by her parents to another man in order to save their family fortune. Marco enourages Divina to run away and flee to Manila. He also makes her promise to meet him on [[March 29]], [[2006]]. Divina agrees and tells him that she will wait for 49 years to fulfill her promise.

Media richness theory, sometimes referred to as information richness theory, is a framework that can be used to describe a communications medium by describing its ability to reproduce the information sent over it. For example, a phone call will not be able to reproduce visual social cues such as gestures. This makes it inferior to video conferencing, which is able to communicate gestures, at least to some extent. More specifically, media richness theory states that the more ambiguous and uncertain a task is, the richer format of media is suitable to it. It is based on contingency theory and information processing theory. Essentially, it explains that richer, more personal means of communication are generally more effective at communication than leaner, less rich media.

Application

Explanatory diagram

The most immediate and profound application of media richness theory is for senders in choosing a medium for communication. The theory implies that, a sender can (and should) use the richest possible medium to communicate the desired message. In reality, senders are often forced to use less-rich methods of communication. Senders that use less-rich media of communication should understand the limitations of that medium in the dimensions of feedback, multiple cues, message tailoring, and emotions.[1]

Theory

Information richness is defined by Daft and Lengel as "the ability of information to change understanding within a time interval". Communications that can overcome different frames of reference and clarify ambiguous issues to promote understanding in a timely manner are considered more rich. Communications that take a longer time to convey understanding are less rich.

According to Daft and Lengel's theory, media richness is a function of (1) the medium's capacity for immediate feedback, (2) the number of cues and channels available, (3) language variety; and (4) the degree to which intent is focused on the recipient. The greater social presence of a medium creates a greater immediacy and warmth of the communication, because of the greater number of channels.
