Ideologically Diverse Media Consumption Predicts Covid-19 Vaccination and Trust in Science

Poster Session IV

Keyword: Public Distrust

Abstract: We examine the relationship between media consumption patterns, vaccine hesitancy, and trust in science with a three-panel survey conducted in the US in 2020-2022 (N=3,326) and a parallel 2020 UK survey (N=1,520). Results suggest an ideologically diverse media diet is associated with reduced vaccine hesitancy and greater trust in science.
