“…Based on media bias model and capitalistic political economy theory, the traditional media have been found to be creating and/or reinforcing democratic malaise and political apathy (D'Alessio & Allen, 2000;Luengo & Coimbra-Mesquita, 2013;Herman & Chomsky, 2002). The advent of digital media technologies, with democratising features, has, however, provided a ray of hope that citizens' civic interests would be reawakened.…”

The centrality of media to political and civic engagement has received tremendous exploration in many climes across the globe. Similarly, the dynamism that characterised media landscape has oftentimes called for continuing interrogation of the role of media in democratic and civic movements, discourses and participations. While the advent of new/social media led to the comparative exploration of the potency of legacy and novel media, mixed findings have characterised these research endeavours. Besides, most of the findings originated from advanced democratic hemisphere. In view of this gap in the literature, this study sampled 350 Nigerian university students in Kwara state during the 2015 Nigerian General Election to examine the differential contributions of legacy and novel media to the youths' political engagement. Premised on media displacement theory, the study anticipates differences in the contribution of mainstream and new media to youths' political engagement, with new media precipitating more civic engagement than the mainstream media. Findings offer important contributions on the role of media to youths' political engagement in general and the continuing importance of the mainstream media to civic and political participation among the youths.

“…Í því sambandi er fyrirbaerið fjandsamleg fjölmiðlun (e. "hostile media phenomenon) talsvert rannsakað. Í því felst að fjölmiðlaumfjöllun sem af óvilhöllum aðila er talin nokkuð hlutlaus er skynjuð sem hlutdraeg og talin draga taum pólitískra andstaeðinga af þeim sem hafa pólitíska skoðun eða stefnu tengda viðkomandi máli (Vallone et al 1985;D'Alessio & Allen, 2000 ). Vissulega getur verið erfitt að ákveða með vissu hvort upplifun á pólitískri fréttaslagsíðu stafar af því að slagsíðan er raunveruleg, eða hvort aðrir þaettir sem tengjast pólitískri afstöðu skipta meira máli.…”

Í þessari grein eru birtar niðurstöður úr frambjóðendakönnun sem gerð var meðal frambjóðenda allra stjórnmálaflokka í öllum kjördaemum fyrir Alþingiskosningarnar 2013. Niðurstöðurnar sýna með afgerandi haetti að íslenskir stjórnmálamenn hafa litla tiltrú á fagmennsku blaðamanna, óhaeði fjölmiðla gagnvart stjórnmála-flokkum og þeirri óhlutdraegni sem alla jafna er talin fylgja markaðsvaeðingu og umbreytingu frá ytri yfir í innri fjölbreytni í fjölmiðlun (Hallin og Mancini, 2004). Þvert á móti virðast stjórnmálamenn sjá íslenskan fjölmiðlamarkað í póli-tísku ljósi þar sem flokksmiðlun og ytri fjölbreytni er áberandi mikilvaeg. Leidd eru rök að því að þessar niðurstöður styðji að til hafi orðið kerfi "pólitískrar markaðsfjölmiðlunar" á Íslandi, m.a. vegna mikillar sögulegrar nálaegðar flokksfjölmiðlunar, bernsku í fagvaeðingu blaðamannastéttarinnar, fárra og frjálslegra reglna um fjölmiðlamarkaðinn, mikillar samþjöppunar eignarhalds á fjölmiðlum og samkrulls eigendavalds og flokkspólitíkur.Efnisorð: Pólitísk boðmiðlun; pólitísk slagsíða; fagleg fjölmiðlun; stjórnmál og fjölmiðlar; viðhorf stjórnmálamanna.

“…Ample political communication research has addressed media neutrality and bias [61,62]. Scholars have not only supported the notion of a media bias, but also asserted that mass media has a liberal bias [63]; whereas, other scholars believe that there is a conservative bent controlled by corporate interests [64].…”

Similarly, a 2012 study found that 60% of Millennials voted for Obama, compared to 47% of Boomers (age [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] [33].

Facebook posts, YouTube videos, tweets and wooing political bloggers have become standard practice in marketing political campaigns. Research has demonstrated the effect of new media on a host of politically-related behavior, including political participation, knowledge acquisition, group formation and self-efficacy. Yet, issues related to media trust, media performance and candidate evaluations have not been fully explored. In addition, much of the political marketing research looks exclusively at the Millennial age cohort, ignoring other age groups, particularly Baby Boomers. This case study addresses whether attention to traditional (i.e., television, hard-copy newspapers and radio) and online media sources (i.e., political candidate websites, television network websites, online newspapers, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr and political blogs) about the 2012 U.S. presidential campaign influences Millennials and Baby Boomers' media trust and performance ratings, as well as candidate evaluations. Panel surveys were completed by both age cohorts, Millennials (n = 431) and Baby Boomers (n = 360), during the last two weeks of the presidential election. Findings indicate that traditional sources, specifically television, rather than online sources are significantly linked to media trust and performance ratings among both Boomers and Millennials. Attention to traditional media for campaign information predicts Boomers' candidate evaluations, whereas Millennials' candidate evaluations are influenced by online sources, such as Facebook and candidate websites.
