Canaries in the Coal Mine: Perceptions of Threat and Media System Dependency Relations.
Loges, William E.
Communication Research, v21 n1 p5-23 Feb 1994
Investigates whether the intensity and scope of media system dependency (MSD) relations are positively related to perceptions of threats in the environment. Finds that higher perceptions of threat are associated with more intense MSD relations; threat perceptions are strong predictors of the intensity of MSD relations when demographic variables are controlled; and threat is negatively associated with scope.
