TLDR
Examination of news coverage effects on youth binge drinking between 1978 and 1996 suggests that although a direct route of media effects on binge-drinking behavior produced evidence of null effects, there was evidence that the impact of news stories on this behavior was mediated by policy actions as well as by changes in the social acceptability of this behavior.
