Abstract

This article shows how an emerging risk is covered by the media and how this interacts with political attention and policy implementation. Gas drilling has resulted in earthquakes in the Netherlands over the past 25 years. We show that an increase in the frequency and magnitude has not stimulated greater media attention. Media and political attention increased only after the media had interpreted the risk as a safety issue. Once this had happened, newspapers and political debates tended to focus on the emotionally loaded aspects. This is in contrast with the regulatory agenda, which followed its own course by focusing on factual information. By using a new method-supervised-machine learning-we analyse a large, longitudinal data set to explore patterns over time. Our findings shed new light on risk-and agenda-setting theory, confirming that media and politics agendas reinforce each other, but the regulatory agenda is not strongly influenced by them.
在高风险政策问题上,媒体、政治和监管议程如何相互影响?
本文展示了媒体如何报道一种新出现的风险,以及这种风险如何与政治关注和政策实施相互作用。在过去的25年里,荷兰的天然气钻探导致了多次地震。我们的研究表明,地震频率和震级的增加并没有引起媒体更大的关注。只有在媒体将风险解读为安全问题之后,媒体和政界的关注才会增加。一旦这种情况发生,报纸和政治辩论就倾向于关注情感方面。这与监管议程形成鲜明对比,后者遵循自己的路线,专注于事实信息。通过使用一种新的方法——监督机器学习——我们分析了一个大型的纵向数据集,以探索随时间变化的模式。我们的研究结果为风险和议程设置理论提供了新的视角,证实了媒体和政治议程相互加强,但监管议程不受它们的强烈影响。
