research paper on The Media and Its Effects on Voting Behavior
A 9 page literature review examining a blend
of political scientists' research and more casual observations regarding how the media influences
voter behavior on election day. Most work has been centered on the television medium, with far
less attention given to radio and newspapers. What is absolutely certain is that the media do
have an impact, though existing studies and considered observation and experience have not
been able to concur on precisely what that impact is. Media effect on voter behavior continues
to be an area needy of study, though perhaps under better design than that which has guided
such studies in the past. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
