Although the informational demands of monitoring the state of economy seem great, Kinder and Kiewiet (1981) suggest, "Voters must only develop rough evaluations of national economic condition". Thus, news media may either help "construct" a picture of the national economy through their reporting or function as a "conduit" through which economic information reaches citizen.
