Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The present study uses a cross-sectional survey data in midwestern U.S. cities to examine the effects of ethnic media use on immigrant’s civic participation in ethnic and American community activities and their political knowledge of this country. Bonding and bridging social capital are also used in the analysis to see if they have mediating effects between ethnic media use and the civic participation and political socialization outcomes. The results indicate that ethnic media use has no significant effects on civic participation or political socialization. Bonding and bridging social capital show positive associations with civic participation, whereas political knowledge is only significantly predicted by length of stay in the country.
