Media and Political Accountability
The growth of television and digital media between the mid-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries affected voter expectations for political accountability in which of the following ways?
Media advancements resulted in a decreased emphasis on candidate performance, forcing voters to rely exclusively on traditional party signals.
The proliferation of media led voters to demand greater accountability from candidates, with a shift toward performance-based evaluation beyond party endorsement.
Increased media influence caused voters to uniformly support candidates based solely on charismatic appeal, ignoring substantive policy differences.
The emergence of digital media completely sidelined the importance of televised campaign advertisements, leading to voter indifference toward candidate accountability.
