Document Summary
In this class we will explore some of the ways people resist media effects. Here are some ideas to consider: the role of first-hand knowledge (obtrusive versus non-obtrusive issues): when you know something about a reality, media has less effect on you. Non-obtrusive issues: climate change, war, white house, no personal experience, you need the media to tell you what"s happening. Knowledge may make you less available to this. Ex: immigration, those who live in broader states, where illegal immigration is done a lot constantly in peoples face, the media affects are quite lower, living in non-border states. Both liberals and self-identified conservatives both like it equally, conservatives means what he says, partisan belief gives them the lenses to interpret it. Conservatives in the us their ideological framework they interpret it the way they want to, he is pretending to be a critic of his ideology, your worldview gives you a framework to interpret the way you want.
