  Abstract People use diverse sources of information, e.g., newspapers, TV, Internet news, social media, and face-to-face

conversations, to make sense of crises. We apply uses and gratifications theory (UGT) and structural equation

modeling to illustrate how using internet-based information sources since the political uprisings in Egypt influence

perceptions of information satisfaction. Consistent with expectations we find that content and process gratifications

constructs combine to explain information satisfaction, while social gratifications do not significantly influence

satisfaction in the context of a crisis. This suggests that UGT is useful for evaluating the use of information

technology in a context where information is limited in quantity and reliability.
