Abstract

media influences the way people think and behave. What media says about anyone/thing becomes the norm. It influences simple things such as what people talk about on their lunch breaks to more complex belief systems. media frames depict people from geographic areas in stereotypical ways; this manipulates how people feel about the different areas. media acts as an opinion leader. One region that media consumers have gained a negative opinion on because of media portrayal is the Midwest. Midwest states include Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan. midwesterners reported media portrays them as people with strong moral values, however, also as hillbillies-unintelligent and politically unaware. A quantitative survey designed to determine the accuracy of this theory is analyzed in this paper. The issue of a negative Midwestern reputation from media portrayal is important because non-midwesterners have gained incorrect and discriminatory viewpoints of midwesterners.
