Local Government News Drives Print Readership
National survey data suggest there remains a hunger for local news. The print newspaper audience is made up of those with an interest in both local government and community news, while an increase online is seen only among those interested in community news
Late-Night Learning: Do Entertainment Programs Increase Political Campaign Knowledge for Young Viewers?
The fragmenting media landscape has led many, particularly younger citizens, to identify entertainment-based programs as key sources of political information. This research used national survey data to examine whether exposure to comedy and late-night programs actually informs viewers, focusing on two kinds of political knowledge thought to differ depending on the media used: recall and recognition. Some support was found for the prediction that …
Television News Exposure and Foreign Affairs Knowledge: A Six-Nation Analysis
Data from six nations are used to explore the failure of television news to predict political knowledge. The first hypothesis posits that how a person approaches a medium explains learning from that source. The second hypothesis posits that television news attracts an audience of lower cognitive ability, thus suppressing a relationship between news and knowledge. International news is considered a `low salience' topic most likely to lead to learn…

This study examines whether talk radio, which has been linked to political mobilization in recent research, acts as a mobilizing influence on persons who believe they can influe…

The research here, using national survey data, finds that the portrait of the talk radio audience has changed to one more positive in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and political participation. However, talk radio is also found to be associated with a number of negative political factors such as cy…
The New News and the 1992 Presidential Campaign: Perceived vs. Actual Political Knowledge
Nontraditional news coverage, the so-called new news, emerged as a major factor in the 1992 presidential campaign. Little is known, however, about whether attention to the political content of such programs informs the public or simply provides the perception of being informed. Analysis of survey data reveals that attention to MTV and late-night programs is either unrelated to or negatively impacts campaign knowledge. Attention to talk shows is p…
