Voters, Media & Social Networks presents new research suggesting that even with political polarization, connectivity through social networks – especially via independent voters, who are at ease interacting with both Republicans and Democrats – can provide an indirect moderation, if not expansion, of consumed media sources.

The report, funded by Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission, included findings from a pre-election statewide poll of registered voters and post-election focus groups.
