Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Freedom of information laws often are strengthened or weakened in response to the public mood regarding personal privacy, national security, and other factors, yet little is known about how people think about access to public information. This study, based on a national phone survey, examines public attitudes toward press access to government records, identifying factors related to support and deriving a political model predicting support. Correlations, regression analysis and structural regression modeling test whether support for press access is best explained by societal power, media importance, or political attitudes. The findings indicate that support for press access is a political attitude such that the strongest predictors of support are community engagement and support for press rights, regardless of age, income, education, views toward newspaper reading, or other variables. Implications are discussed, including potential explanation for why support for freedom of information might ebb and flow during different times of societal community engagement. Also, the results provide insights for helping journalists, scholars, and citizens understand – and perhaps influence – public attitudes toward freedom of information and the laws that govern access.
