Public Journalism and Changes in Content of the Seattle Times
Few identifiable changes in content occurred when the Seattle Times adopted its “Front Porch Forum” public journalism approach. Most of the changes occurred in conjunction with the FPF logo, not anywhere else in the paper
Party Identification and Negative Advertising in a U.S. Senate Election
The authors sampled registered voters who had, and had not, voted in a vote-by-mail special election. They tested Ansolabehere and Iyengar's (1995) conclusion that attack ads mostly discourage independents from voting and reinforce the loyalties of Republicans and Democrats. Democrat Ron Wyden, the narrow winner of the election, pledged late in the campaign that he would no longer “go negative.” Republican Gordon Smith did not follow suit. Only R…

Picking the Winners
Both politicians and voters were asked to predict outcomes of two Oregon ballot measures in 1982. As expected, politicians' predictions always were closer to the mark than voters' were. Further, voters showed stronger signs of wishful thinking (the “Looking-Glass effect”) in their predictions than did politicians. Using published preelection polls apparently improved politicians' accuracy in 1982, as well as voters' accuracy in a separate 1984 su…
Effects of Viewing a Presidential Primary Debate
Do televised debates between presidential candidates stimulate campaign interest and learning? This question can best be answered by controlling the problem of self-selection: The people who normally watch may already be interested in the presidential campaign.

Dimensions for Evaluating the Acceptability of Message Sources
The research reported here extends the work of Hovland and his colleagues on source credibility by investigating the criteria actually used by receivers in evaluating message sources. Three dimensions are isolated: Safety, Qualification, and Dynamism. The authors argue that source "image" should be defined in terms of the perceptions of the receiver, not in terms of objective characteristics of the source
