Liberal-conservative ideology and communication research: Different paths and nooks
Abstract:
The dimensions and implications of liberal-conservative ideology have been studied in such disciplines as political science, psychology, and communication. Instead of focusing on one study, this talk reviews the evolving attempts by a communication researcher interested in the effects of liberal-conservative ideology. Topics include trust in the news media, the lifestyles of consumers, the connection between media use and attitudes toward the egalitarian issues of minority groups, and audience members’ media diet.
