Abstract:
|
With two waves of online survey data collected immediately before and again 6 days into the U.S.-Iraq war in March, 2003, this study examined how people’s attitudes toward the war and their interest in it varied according to what medium they said they most relied on for war news. Results showed that television news dependency was associated with higher support and interest measures, whereas newspaper dependency led to the opposite result.. Six days into the war people’s support for the military action had increased, but their interest in war news had diminished. The exact pattern of this effect varied by media. For example, television dependency was associated with heightened interest in war events across time, while those relying on radio, newspaper and Internet reported less interest. This interaction of media dependency and time of war events furthers our understanding about the impact of different media channels by suggesting a more complex relationship particularly in times of international conflict and societal tension. |
