Abstraksi | : | Prior research on knowledge-gap effects has focused on assessing individual-level differences in news exposure based on self-report of media use. Inferential limitations of this approach are addressed by testing the hypothesis that the relationship between education and cancer prevention knowledge will be moderated by regional differences in U.S. cancer-prevention news coverage. The study also tests the findings by N. Kwak (1999) suggesting that examines the importance role of attention to health news in predicting knowledge decreases as available information increases.Using representative newspaper samples to assess regional differences in cancer-prevention coverage, a representative probability sample to assess respondent education and cancer-prevention knowledge, and multilevel analyses of the relationship between regional coverage differences and knowledge of persons in those regions, support is found for both propositions the knowledge gap hypothesis. In addition, attention to health news appears to reduce knowledge differences associated with differences in the amount of media coverage. |
