News Research

News – What makes the voters act?

News are an important source of information for decision-making in the field of politics. Therefore they are very important for the perceived image of a party and its chances for success in elections, and are often the center of attention when the 'democratic quality' of a broadcasting system is questioned. The Medien Institut has conducted a number of projects dealing with news research, in which both the form and content were examined. Ultimately, the quality of news is a factor in the market positioning of media suppliers such as TV broadcasters.
