Current Information Gaps People rely on adverts through print and broadcast media to receive information. The current practice has the following setbacks:Low circulationDoes not always reach people who are in needPeople may not be listening or watching during the advert play timeMedia adverts are normally costly and thus not all are able to pay for the adverts (Lot of information not given)

Current Information Gap (Cont)Some adverts are not given at the right time

when one is in need of the informationAdverts during the prime time are normally

very expensive and this restricts the amount of information given

There are too many media channels to pass the information to the public

Data collection is a big problemAvailability of power is problematic to many
