“…Beyond traditional media outlets, Klotz (1998) found that negative political advertising was present on approximately one-third of House candidates' World Wide Web pages during the 1996 presidential election, though this number was considerably smaller than those in more mainstream news content. In Germany, Schulz (1997; identi es an increase in negative political reporting as commercial media have replaced publicly owned channels. Hence, a wealth of empirical work shows that media portrayals of politics are disproportionately unfavorable.…”

The primary purpose of this study is to explore whether scrutiny of the president in quality US newspapers is related to people's perceptions of the press. It was predicted that two chief factors-in addition to other forces-are contributing to declining press performance ratings: (1) an increase in the number of total stories devoted to the presidency and (2) an increase in the proportion of cynical stories surrounding this of ce. Data support both propositions to some extent. Finally, the implications of these ndings are considered.

“…The older notion of public sphere is thus replaced by a new model, which is much more dependent on representation and on novel forms of communication (Zolo 1991;Peters 1997;Schulz 1997) and that receives much less impetus from more classical, dialogical forms of The dominant characteristic of the mediated public sphere is therefore its profusion and, possibly, also the overload of social representations, according to Zolo (1991). While Thompson presents loss of the localised space of human co-presence as the central consequence of these developments, Peters (1997) traces central effects of mediated publicness more thoroughly in changes of social communication.…”

“…The attention in this article is therefore given to the examination of key assumptions and characteristics of the so called II mediated public sphere," which evolved as a result of mass communication. The concept of the "mediated public sphere," which was given currency in the 1990s Zolo 1991;Thompson 1995;Schulz 1997) implied both that media substantially expanded the potentials of the visible and the range of those who may be reached by what is made visible. However, the reliance on this theoretical framework should not be interpreted as an attempt to compare the classical notion of public sphere with its mediated form.…”

The Internet in many w ays changed our established conce ptions not only about space, time, and access, but also about publi cness , activity and interacti on. The int erplay of these changes is clearly expressed in the idea of electronic public sphere, wh ich itself depends heavily on the w orking of the dom inant forms of com munication. But it should be posed as a question rather than simply assumed w hether new possibiliti es for participatory op inion formation come from interact ive qualities of the Intern et alone. As argued in thi s paper, cyberspace is cons t ituted not on ly by interacti ve communication, but also by the forms of representati on that are more simi lar to t he eleme nts of so-called mediated publicness, w hich originate from the pro cess of norm alisation of cyberspace. By appr oaching these issues through t he conceptual fram ew ork of dialogue and representati on, it is possible to reduce the complexity o f cyberspace and thus to engage in a systematic analysis of the existing realms of pub lic and political acti on.

“…28 Smith, Fabrigar, & Norris, 2008), the study was limited by an issue always associated with cross-sectional data: The difficulty to prove causality relationships, since there is no clear time-order of cause and effect (Cappella, 2002;Schulz, 1997). Therefore, this study could investigate the relationship between exposure to soft news relative to hard news and political cynicism, but we are limited in speaking about an effect of the former on the latter.…”

AbstractThe possibly detrimental consequences of soft news are subject of popular and academic debate. This study investigates how watching particular news genres -soft versus hard -relates to cynicism about politics among Dutch citizens. A nuanced and novel scale measuring relative exposure to soft versus hard news is introduced using nonparametric unidimensional unfolding. The analysis of three public opinion surveys demonstrates a strong relationship between people's position on this hard-versus-soft-news exposure scale and political cynicism. People who watched relatively more soft news were more cynical about politics than people who watched relatively more hard news. This relationship was not conditional on individuals' level of political knowledge and interest.
