Communication Media and Mexican Social Issues

A Focus on English-language and U.S.-origin Communication Media

Department of Sociology, University of California-Riverside, U.S.A.

This paper examines the association between English-language and U.S.-origin communica tion media and the perceptions of Mexican social issues held by Mexican border and interior residents. The findings presented in this paper show that: (1) utilization patterns for communica tion media are associated with a person's place of residence in Mexico—border vs. interior; (2) communication media are not associated with a Mexican person's perception of Mexican social issues; and (3) language of communication media has slight differential effects on the perceptions of border and interior residents for the Mexican government's treatment of national problems.
