Through a descriptive quantitative research survey method, researchers process data from 349 respondents who are members of the DailySocial.id media audience. As a result, the navigability motive is the most powerful reason that drives audiences to consume the media, followed by modality motives in second place, interactivity in third place and agency in last place. Navigability is the biggest motive which shows that the audience access DailySocial.id because they can feel free in exploring all the information on the site, so they feel entertained.
