Abstract

The question that guides this study is: publications from The New York Times influence the opinion of Americans about hearing policies? It is assumed that the higher the volume of publications in the NYT about audience, more favorable policy will be the opinion of Americans in the face of this class of topics. To test this hypothesis, we used data from the Gallup Institute (on public opinion of Americans) and data generated with the Chronicle (concerning publications of the NYT about marijuana, gay marriage and abortion). The hypothesis showed partial grip since it found significant evidence of influence from the NYT about the opinion of Americans face the themes marijuana and gay marriage, however, was not viewed this relationship about the abortion issue.
