News consumption, media dependency and political trust – a mediated relationship

Summary/Abstract: This article approaches the topic of the mediated relationship between news consumption, media dependency and how citizens relate to politics.

Media dependency, which positively correlates with TV news consumption, influences directly political trust, as well.
