Media, Education and Corruption: Investigating the Associations

Nabamita Dutta () and Sanjukta Roy

Economic Affairs, 2013, vol. 33, issue 2, 207-219

Abstract: We study the interactive association of press freedom, access to media and education with a nation's corruption levels. A free press generates unbiased information that greater access to the media helps propagate; and a greater degree of education, in the same context, helps individuals apply that information. This entire process generates a vigilant and corruption‐free economy. It is therefore important to consider these factors in conjunction.
