Cognitions and Attitudes about Community: Compensating for Media Images.
Fredin, Eric S.; Kosicki, Gerald M.
Journalism Quarterly, v66 n3 p571-78 Fall 1989
Investigates community attitudes toward four images of the news media (thorough and accurate, presents too much bad news, news media as a special interest group, and journalists as "boosters"). Finds some evidence that people compensate for distortions they think occur in the news because of the ways the news media operates. (RS)
