Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study addresses the relation between media use and political support in the Netherlands. Althought the thesis of media malaise and the spiral of cynicism are an almost conventional wisdom, in this study we test the correlation between the use of media on the one hand and political attitudes on the other hand. Based on a survey from 2000 (N=825), we calculated correlation between a number of variables. It turned out that watching television in general is positively related to political cynicism and negatively to political self-efficacy. However, reading newspapers in general, watching political programs on television, and reading political articles in newspapers, are negatively related to political cynicism and positively related to political self-efficacy. Controlling for social demographic variables, political knowlegde and political ideology, only brought marginal changes. For the political attitudes we used and the use of political programs on television or in newspapers, support for the media malaise thesis has not been found.
