Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Pim Fortuyn became the party leader of a new party, Leefbaar Nederland, in November 2001. In February 2001 he was kicked out of the party because of his extreme opinions (‘The Islam is a backwards culture’). He raised a new party, the LPF (Lijst Pim Fortuyn). In the opinion polls the new party rose fast. One and a half week before the elections of May 15th 2002 Fortuyn was murdered by an extreme vegetarian. Still the LPF gained 26 seats in the 150-seats Parliament, but the ChristianDemocrats did win even more. From a bare 30 seats in the polls they ended on 43 seats. This paper analyzes the news in the Netherlands in 5 newspapers and 3 television stations from the moment on Pim Fortuyn became the leader of Leefbaar Nederland. The news in each newspaper and in each television news program was assigned as a set of contextual variables to the readers of and the watchers of these particular media in an 8 wave panel survey. A network analysis of the news shows that the political position of the CDA was structural equivalent to the position of the LPF, albeit that the criticisms of the CDA on the government coalition were not as extreme. A LISREL-model of the effects of the news on party preferences on the respondents who read this specific news or watched this specific news shows that news on the ‘own’ issues of the various parties was important, as well as support from societal groups. The model shows also that the perceived performance of a party leader in the news was an important mediating variable to explain party preferences.
