Note: Table shows ordered probit coefficients with standard errors in parentheses. Estimates of x cut-point parameters are not reported. In each model, the dependent variable is respondents’ trust in the media, with the following response categories: “just about always” (coded as 1), “most of the time” (.67), “only some of the time” (.33), and “just about never” (0). The main explanatory variable is how often respondents “read, watched, or listened to information on the Internet about the campaign for President,” with the following response categories: not at all (0), “just one or two” times (.33), “several” times (.67), and “a good many” times (1). Respondents are classified as politically aware if they earned a graduate degree and correctly named the Republicans as the more conservative major American political party. Those who say they lean toward a party are classified as identifying with that party. Other explanatory variables are also coded to range from 0 to 1, with interior categories evenly spaced between these endpoints.
