Public support for various media rights was examined in this study. Data were analyzed from a national probability sample of 1,508 adults, with items pertaining to media formed into three indexes: Morality, Routine Journalism, and Identification. These indexes were used as dependent variables in a multiple analysis of variance test based on the demographic variables of sex, age, education, and political orientation. Results indicated that: (1) men supported all rights significantly more than women, with greater disparity for routine journalism practices; (2) support for media rights was higher at the left side of the political spectrum than the right, especially for practices that relate to moral issues; (3) as education increased, support for rights tended to increase, with the greatest change occurring for routine journalism practices; (4) increasing age seemed to be associated with decreasing support; and (5) identification of rape victims and juveniles charged with crime received little support from any group.
