Abstract:
|
This study investigates the relationship between strategic news exposure and political cynicism and vote choice among young voters in the context of a referendum on an issue of European integration. Using a survey (n=720) and a media content analysis, we link media use measures to indicators of media content so as to provide a compelling link between exposure to media content and cynicism. As hypothesized, we find a positive relationship between exposure to strategically framed campaign coverage and political cynicism. In addition, we find that cynicism is related to voting ‘no’, which suggests that cynicism served as a mediator in the relationship between media exposure and a ‘no’ vote. The results are discussed in the light of extant research on media, political cynicism, and electoral behavior in the case of direct democracy. |
