Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Public information has not gained much attention in the literature on political communication, although its importance is beyond discussion. The research question of this paper asks how the news on government policies influences satisfaction with government policy. Apart from well known hypotheses such as agenda setting and priming, hypotheses are tested that deal with the question whether the government tries to increase policy satisfaction by communicating ambitions (it’s a mess, but we will do something against it) or by communicating successes (everything under control, due to us). The data to test the hypotheses come from a fourfold survey study to tap aspects of satisfaction with, the government policy with regard to 55 policy issues in addition to a longitudinal content analysis of 24 newspapers to unravel the media coverage of these issues. The results show dissatisfaction everywhere. Most hypotheses stand the test. Increasing policy satisfaction by the communication of ambitions rather than of results appears to be the rule. The diffusion of negative perceptions of real world conditions may be a side-effect of the latter.
