สรุป	The media-use diary method has participants record their media use repeatedly over days or weeks, close to when it happens, capturing everyday media behavior in its natural context with minimal retrospective bias. It yields intensive longitudinal data that reveal how media use varies within individuals across time and situations, not just averaged across people.	The uses and gratifications survey is the dominant audience-centered method in communication research, asking not what media do to people but what people do with media. Codified by Katz, Blumler, and Gurevitch in 1973, it treats audiences as active agents who select media to satisfy social and psychological needs, and it measures those motives and the rewards obtained through structured self-report scales.
