The Type of Media Matters
• Television is the most important
• The internet is the fastest, but has the most bias
![Page 13: Interest Groups/Media 4/26/2012. Clearly Communicated Learning Objectives in Written Form Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: –](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7b70/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Newspapers and Magazines

information and Detail– Very few cities have
multiple papers anymore

The Decline of Old media
![Page 16: Interest Groups/Media 4/26/2012. Clearly Communicated Learning Objectives in Written Form Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: –](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7b70/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
THE MINIMAL EFFECTS MODELDoes the media really matter
![Page 17: Interest Groups/Media 4/26/2012. Clearly Communicated Learning Objectives in Written Form Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: –](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7b70/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Minimal Effects Model
• The Fall Campaign is not that important
• Most people have made up their mind
![Page 18: Interest Groups/Media 4/26/2012. Clearly Communicated Learning Objectives in Written Form Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: –](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bfc71a28abf838ca7b70/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Spurious/Minimal effects model
• We do not seek out political information
• We have selective/exposure perception
• We rarely make major changes

Who is influenced the most
