The research reported here was carried out while the author was a doctoral candidate in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. A process model of involvement based on expectancy-value research is proposed. Two key elements are included. The first is the person’s expecta-tion that a given event will be important. The second is the person’s dis-crimination of whether his or her initial expectation was confirmed or disconfirmed. Both expectations and discrimination were manipulated for all subjects. The key dependent variable was each individual’s subsequent expectation of the importance of similar events in the future. The implica-tions of expectation of information-seeking intensity are also considered. Students enrolled in a University of Wisconsin advertising class served as subjects (N = 92) for the study.

We want them to be good citizens, as well as good parents and good neighbors. And we do not want them to be poor. We want them to be at least economically comfortable, if not financially successful.

The 486 scholars ' beliefs are provocative, indicate a disparity exists between published empirical reports and the personal beliefs held by scholars and suggests a research agenda for future mass communication research. Perhaps most interestingly, a negative relationship was observed between academic publication and perceived negative consequences of television.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), German theologian As parents, teachers, civic leaders, and citizens, we all want the children we work with, as well as our own children, to grow up to be responsible adults engaged with the future of our nation and government. We want them to be good citizens, as well as good parents and good neighbors. And we do not want them to be poor. We want them to be at least economically comfortable, if not financially successful. And these are all the reasons why we send them to school, to the best schools we can find and create. We believe that learningthe acquisition of knowledge-is one of the greatest stepping-stones that make all of these hopes possible. When it comes to raising citizens, we expect that our schools will provide our children with the knowledge of our government's ideals, its workings, its formative documents, and its history, good and sometimes not so good, as we have struggled for freedom, justice, and liberty for all. And we also expect that our schools will help our children grow in their awareness of how all of this knowledge connects up with the events of the day-current events-or as most of us adults call it, "the news." What good is a democracy, where the people rule, if the people have little idea about what is going on in their city, their state, their nation, or the world around them? But there is a great mixed message at work in these hopes. Where once many parents and educators saw the job of raising responsible, engaged citizens and well-trained and innovative employees as compatible efforts, these two goals are increasing viewed as in conflict.

To Latour’s challenge, “we have never been modern,” by which Latour meant truly and meaningfully modern, the Pope had a reply: “Here’s how”(Latour, 1993). And it wasn’t by suggesting that we go back to a pre-modern understanding of the world and embrace a mystical religious world view. Instead it called for a dramatic re-visioning of the central work of today’s media studies scholars.

In fact, the news media have never been objective. Objectivity is impossible. Only a naive theory can interpret news as striving for objective, unbiased accounts of socially important events. Such a theory would cover up the degree to which news reality is a shaped reality — not always directly or intentionally, not always simply — but shaped to privilege the views of the powers that be.
