          Abstract

          RESUMEN ¿En qué medida la politización del orden mediático activada por gobiernos de “nueva izquierda” en América Latina, afectó la confianza ciudadana en los medios de comunicación? Utilizando datos a nivel individual en Argentina, donde el conflicto gobierno-medios fue intenso, este trabajo examina el impacto de tres variables políticas: preferencias, sofisticación y temas. La evidencia indica que los simpatizantes del kirchnerismo confían menos que las demás personas, mientras que los votantes evalúan los medios según el desempeño presidencial. Por otra parte, los individuos políticamente sofisticados expresan menores niveles de confianza, mientras que las víctimas de la delincuencia manifiestan mayores. Estos resultados tienen implicancias para el estudio de la política de medios y el papel de los encuadres de las elites sobre las percepciones individuales acerca de la prensa.

          ABSTRACT To what extent did media politicization linked to “new left” governments in Latin America affect media trust? Using individual level data in Argentina, where the government-multimedia conflict was intense, we examine the impact of three political variables: sophistication, preferences, and issues. We find that persons who identified as kirchneristas express less trust, while government voters evaluate media outlets considering presidential performance. In contrast to public opinion in the US, conservatives reveal higher levels of trust. Moreover, individual attributes linked to political sophistication are negatively correlated with media trust, while victims of crime manifest lower levels of credibility. These results have implications for the study of media politics, and the role of elites' frames and rhetoric in shaping individual perceptions about mass media.

          Elite Influence on Public Opinion in an Informed Electorate

          An enduring concern about democracies is that citizens conform too readily to the policy views of elites in their own parties, even to the point of ignoring other information about the policies in question. This article presents two experiments that undermine this concern, at least under one important condition. People rarely possess even a modicum of information about policies; but when they do, their attitudes seem to be affected at least as much by that information as by cues from party elites. The experiments also measure the extent to which people think about policy. Contrary to many accounts, they suggest that party cues do not inhibit such thinking. This is not cause for unbridled optimism about citizens' ability to make good decisions, but it is reason to be more sanguine about their ability to use information about policy when they have it.

            Partisan Cues and the Media: Information Flows in the 1992 Presidential Election

            Electoral research acknowledges the growing significance of the mass media in contemporary campaigns, but scholars are divided on the nature of this influence. Using a unique database that includes both media content and public opinion, we examine the flow of partisan information from newspapers to the voters and assess the press's role in electoral politics and citizen learning. We find that the American press does not present clear and singular messages about presidential elections but, rather, multiple messages about the candidates and the campaign. In addition, perception of the information is shaped as much by an individual's political views as by the objective content. Despite the mixed messages, we find that a newspaper's editorial content is significantly related to candidate preferences in 1992. These results challenge the minimal effects interpretation of the media, because local newspapers can play a significant role in providing cues that influence voters' electoral calculus.
