Dynamics of political information transmission: How media coverage informs public judgments about politics

Year: 2013

Type: other

Abstract: This dissertation presents several important new insights into the role of the media environment - or more specifically, the transmission of political information - as an agent of change in people’s political judgments. It emphasizes the role of opportunity in producing informed citizens, it specifies the circumstances under which citizens’ own motivation does and does not cause inequality in political information, and it explores the contextual and individual conditions that promote "informed change" in public opinion about politics.
