Rileggevo, meditandone le conclusioni, quello scritto che rappresenta un po' il benchmark in materia meditandone le conclusioni.
A quanto pare, rispetto alla loro potenziale utenza misurata attraverso gli esiti delle elezioni politiche, i giornali americani soffrono di un chiaro sbilanciamento a a sinistra.
Spiegazione 1:
"...James Hamilton [2004] notes that news producers may prefer to cater to some onsumers more than others. In particular, Hamilton notes that young females tend to be one of the most marginal news consumers (i.e. they are the most willing to switch to activities besides reading or watching the news). Further, this group often makes the consumption decisions for the household. For these two reasons, advertisers are willing to pay more to outlets that reach this group. Since young females tend to be more liberal on average, a news outlet may want to slant its coverage to the left..."
Spiegazione 2:
"...A more compelling explanation for the liberal slant of news outlets, in our view, involves production factors, not demand factors. As Daniel Sutter [2001] has noted, journalists might systematically have a taste to slant their stories to the left. Indeed, this is consistent with the survey evidence that we noted earlier. As a consequence, “If the majority of journalists have left-of-center views, liberal news might cost less to supply than unbiased news [p. 444].”

A questo punto sarebbe interessante che si spiegasse il perchè i giornalisti siano prevalentemente di sinistra. Probabilmente si sfocerebbe nella più ampia questione degli intellettuali.
Altra conclusione: chi lavora nei media non è granchè condizionato dalla proprietà.
Alcuni temono che l' informazione lasciata al mercato tende ad uniformarsi. Costoro farebbero bene a tranquillizzarsi.
"...some claim that a free-market system of news will produce less diversity of news than a government-run system. However, again, our results do not support such a claim. The variance of the ADA scores of the privately run outlets is substantially higher (131.3) than the variance of the two government-funded outlets that we examine (55.1)..."
Ma i metodi dell' analisi linkata sono applicabili alla realtà italiana? Qualcuno ha tentato il parallelo. La risposta è negativa. Puglisi propone allora metodi alternativi.
