Abstract:
| This study investigates the relationship between media and political knowledge and participation. Drawing on panel surveys and media content analyses the study provides a compelling link between exposure and attention to specific media contents and knowledge and participation. Our findings challenge conventional wisdom since we find the strongest learning and participation effects from exposure and attention to television news rather than newspapers. However, these effects are contingent upon the content of the news, so that only exposure to news programs that reported elaborately about politics had positive effects. The results are discussed in the light of research on media effects and political participation. |

The reliability test was conducted on 25 Dutch and 25 Danish news stories randomly selected from the news outlets included in the study. 13 The relatively smaller effect of newspaper exposure could be due to a ceiling effect.
