How news media affects political behavior
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Common across basic models of political accountability, citizens have to learn about politicians to hold them accountable. I am broadly interested in the interplay between media and politics and how media holds politicians accountable by keeping the citizenry informed about politics. In my dissertation, I examine 3 instances of how the media can play the role of a watchdog. First, I evaluate the performance of fact-checkers. Then, I look at the effects of monitoring and fact-checking political elites. In the last paper, I test how the amount and content of news coverage can affect voter behavior
