ABSTRACT

In most studies on news repertoires and the linkage between media use and (mis)perceptions of social and political matters, the use of political alternative media has not been included. In this paper, we therefore investigate how people combine both traditional and political alternative media into different media repertoires, and how these media repertoires are related to misperceptions. We rely on a two-wave panel survey, conducted in 2020 and 2021, with a probability-recruited sample of the Swedish population. Measures on the use of a wide range of media, including political alternative ones, are used to conduct a Latent Profile Analysis. This analysis distinguishes five media repertoires in the data. The results show that these repertoires coincide with different levels of misperceptions, with those dominated by TV use showing higher levels of misperceptions and those with higher newspaper and alternative media use showing lower levels of misperceptions. Results also show that media repertoires do not affect over-time changes in misperceptions.

摘要

在大多数关于新闻内容以及媒体使用与社会和政治问题的（错误）认知之间联系的研究中，政治替代媒体的使用并未包括在内。因此，在本文中，我们研究了人们如何将传统媒体和政治另类媒体结合到不同的媒体库中，以及这些媒体库与误解有何关系。我们依赖于 2020 年和 2021 年进行的两波小组调查，对瑞典人口进行了概率招募样本。使用各种媒体（包括政治替代媒体）的措施来进行潜在概况分析。该分析区分了数据中的五种媒体曲目。结果表明，这些曲目与不同程度的误解相吻合，那些以电视使用为主的人表现出较高程度的误解，而那些以报纸和替代媒体使用较多的人则表现出较低程度的误解。结果还表明，媒体节目不会影响加时赛错误观念的改变。
