Title

Food scandals, media exposure, and citizens’ safety concerns: A multilevel analysis across Chinese cities

Summary

The study collects data regarding perceptions of food safety risks in China, specifically within 30 cities. It suggests that poor education on food safety, is one of the root causes behind amplification of food scandals. The findings also suggest that citizens with higher education and media exposure are the ones most concerned with food safety issues. It is worth noting that the paper discusses the topic in light of China’s communist approach in managing information outlets and the media.
