摘要
A statewide survey (N = 564) before Ohio's 2006 gubernatorial election examined issue knowledge, campaign interest, campaign news attention, debate exposure, and attention to political advertising and negative political advertising. Attention to campaign news on television and in the newspaper predicted interest in the campaign as well as knowledge about the issues. However, attention to campaign news online predicted interest in the campaign above and beyond that of newspaper and television attention. In turn, campaign interest predicted knowledge. In addition, attention to political advertising predicted interest in the campaign but not knowledge of campaign issues. Attention to negative political advertising did not significantly predict campaign knowledge or interest.
