    Abstract:

    Do News Organizations purposefullylead the public to support a particularideological agenda? When debating thisquestion, many analysts draw conclusionsfrom weak empirical evidence. We introducea model that clarifies how a NewsOrganization's internal structure combineswith market forces to affect when it canlead public opinion. We identify conditionsunder which liberal reporters orpolitically-driven media magnates canachieve ideological goals. We alsoilluminate important barriers that preventmany would-be public opinion leaders fromever satisfying these conditions. We showthat internal structure and market forcesare critical determinants of any NewsOrganization's power over public opinion.

  • When can a News Organization lead public opinion
    SSRN Electronic Journal, 2001
    Co-Authors: Arthur Lupia
    Abstract:

    Do News Organizations purposefully lead the public to support a particular ideological agenda? When debating this question, many analysts draw conclusions from weak empirical evidence. We introduce a model that clarifies how a News Organization's internal structure combines with market forces to affect when it can lead public opinion. We identify conditions under which liberal reporters or politically-driven media magnates can achieve ideological goals. We also illuminate important barriers that prevent many would-be public opinion leaders from ever satisfying these conditions. We show that internal structure and market forces are critical determinants of any News Organization's power over public opinion.

  • the star s first draft a News Organization revises the next narrative of race in post apartheid south africa
    Culture and Organization, 2008
    Co-Authors: Joseph C. Manzella
    Abstract:

    The evolution of South Africa’s News media has been fraught with uncertainties as the nation’s News Organizations negotiate Organizational and occupational ideologies and reporting strategies in the post‐apartheid era. The mainstream English press in particular has been struggling for a sense of identity despite a history of anti‐apartheid ‘watchdog’ activity. This essay examines a major Johannesburg English Newspaper and its principal rival from 1999 to 2005, the critical years just before and just after a showdown with the larger society over charges of racism in the News. It shows how Organizational cultures of Newspapers and their ideological schemata may be affected both by transformations in the political systems and by the unfolding of major News events, such as the government’s reaction to the AIDS pandemic.

  • red media blue media evidence of ideological selectivity in media use
    Journal of Communication, 2009
    Co-Authors: Shanto Iyengar, Kyu S Hahn
    Abstract:

    We show that the demand for News varies with the perceived affinity of the News Organization to the consumer’s political preferences. In an experimental setting, conservatives and Republicans preferred to read News reports attributed to Fox News and to avoid News from CNN and NPR. Democrats and liberals exhibited exactly the opposite syndrome—dividing their attention equally between CNN and NPR, but avoiding Fox News. This pattern of selective exposure based on partisan affinity held not only for News coverage of controversial issues but also for relatively ‘‘soft’’ subjects such as crime and travel. The tendency to select News based on anticipated agreement was also strengthened among more politically engaged partisans. Overall, these results suggest that the further proliferation of new media and enhanced media choices may contribute to the further polarization of the News audience.

  • the polls trends twenty years of public opinion about global warming
    Public Opinion Quarterly, 2007
    Co-Authors: Matthew C Nisbet, Teresa A Myers
    Abstract:

    Over the past 20 years, there have been dozens of News Organization, academic, and nonpartisan public opinion surveys on global warming, yet there exists no authoritative summary of their collective findings. In this article, we provide a systematic review of trends in public opinion about global warming. We sifted through hundreds of polling questions culled from more than 70 surveys administered over the past 20 years. In compiling the available trends, we summarize public opinion across several key dimensions including (a) public awareness of the issue of global warming; (b) public understanding of the causes of global warming and the specifics of the policy debate; (c) public perceptions of the certainty of the science and the level of agreement among experts; (d) public concern about the impacts of global warming; (e) public support for policy action in light of potential economic costs; and (f) public support for the Kyoto climate treaty.
