ABSTRACT. The aim of this paper is to synthesize and analyze existing evidence on repeated COVID-19 pandemic-related media consumption. Using and replicating data from Annenberg Science Knowledge/the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Gallup, GlobalWebIndex, Knight Foundation, Ofcom, Pew Research Center, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, and the University of Canberra, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding attitudinal statements about COVID-19 and media coverage. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
