Frontiers in Psychology, 22 October 2020: The Role of News Consumption and Trust in Public Health Leadership in Shaping COVID-19 Knowledge and Prejudice

As described in the “Materials and Methods” section, participants were also asked follow up questions about the specific news sources they frequently use and we examined whether the use of these specific sources is related to COVID-19 knowledge and prejudice. To do so, we calculated t-tests to compare people who frequently used each of the sources (i.e., CNN, Fox News, Facebook, Twitter, National Public Radio [NPR], and the New York Times) to people who did not use these sources to determine if consuming each source of media impacted knowledge and prejudice related to COVID-19.

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
