Information Sources and State Legislators: Decision-Making and Dependency.

Bybee, Carl R.; Comadena, Mark

Journal of Broadcasting, v28 n3 p333-40 Sum 1984

Examination of Indiana state legislators' dependence on various mass media and interpersonal sources for information about their constituents reveals a relatively stable use of mass communication sources and a surprising role for radio. Tenure apparently is unrelated to information search for situations examined in this study. (Author/MBR)
