We find that both types of info richness increases support for a pro-spending candidate, accountability for an anti-spending incumbent, and support for a costly bond measure for preventive infrastructure spending.
Importantly, we find these positive effects for both catastrophic and nuisance infrastructure issues. Effects are also similar for investigative reporting and (less resource intensive) contextual reporting. In either form, providing more information about risk boosts public spending support.
