Professors Amy Nathanson and William “Chip” Eveland published new research in Communication Monographs related to the 2016 presidential election. They studied how parents criticized, restricted and co-viewed news coverage during the election. Using data from a representative sample of American parents during the autumn of 2016, they found that co-viewing, active mediation and restrictive mediation were all relatively common. These results have implications for how both political socialization and parental mediation are conceptualized.
