Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blogs are websites where individuals or groups share personal experiences, opinions, and ideas in a form of self-disclosure. However, compared to other social media such as video conferencing or face-to-face communication, blogs are relatively low in media richness. It means that blogs lack nonverbal cues such as facial expressions or tone of voice and the quick feedback that other social media provide. Therefore, Choice C -high in self-disclosure but low in media richness- is the best answer for this question.
