ABSTRACT:What effect does education, age, and consumption of environmental information from newspapers and television have on people's environmental knowledge, concerns, and behavior? Partial answers to this question are based on a 1984 telephone survey of 336 residents of Ithaca, New York. Respondents' education and newspaper use led to greater effects. Television use, both for specific environmental information and in general, appeared to have some negative consequences. Age did not relate to the dependent variable.
