Abstract
A three-year panel study found education related to knowledge gain, and to some maintenance of a knowledge differential, in regard to the energy issue. Use of various public affairs media was stronger among the more highly educated, although use of energy communication media was about equal across education groups. Reading of newspaper energy stories bore the most consistent relationships with energy knowledge among the more highly educated, and viewing of energy commercials bore the most consistent relationships with energy knowledge among the less educated.
