Title: Screen vs Scene: Impact of News and TV on Belief Formation

 

Abstract:

This study examines the influence of news and television on belief
formation. We analyze public beliefs about crime using data from an online
experiment of a nationally representative US sample, comparing the results
with both current and historical news, and content from popular media. We
focus on the influence of streaming movies and TV shows in the US to see how
media shapes opinions. By explicitly modeling belief updating we further
enhance our understanding of these processes. Our findings suggest that
popular culture, including both fictional and non-fictional content,
significantly influences people's views.This research highlights the
significant effect media representations of issues like terrorism, COVID-19
pandemic, global warming and climate change, and international relations.
