摘要

获取本地新闻如何影响人们对选举诚信的看法？虽然现有的研究强调党派关系和动机推理的影响，但暴露于有关选举管理的可观察事实也会影响这些看法。传统上，当地新闻是选民获取此类信息的主要来源。然而，由于数字媒体领域的竞争加剧，地方新闻已经大幅下降，尤其是在报道能力方面。因此，公众获得有关选举运作的客观信息的渠道越来越少，这可能会增加对党派线索的依赖。在本文中，我们使用个人层面的调查数据、地方新闻可用性的度量以及2016年和2020年周期的县级选举结果，来研究地方新闻的获取是否以及如何调节党派关系和赢家/输家差距对选民对选举诚信的看法的影响。

Local news, partisanship, and perceptions about election administration

How does access to local news shape perceptions of election integrity? While existing research emphasizes the influence of partisanship and motivated reasoning, exposure to observable facts about election administration also affects these perceptions. Traditionally, local news was voters’ main source for such information. However, local news has declined significantly – especially in reporting capacity – due to increased competition in the digital media landscape. As a result, the public has less access to objective information about how elections are run, potentially increasing reliance on partisan cues. In this paper, we use individual-level survey data, measures of local news availability, and county-level election results from the 2016 and 2020 cycles to examine whether and how access to local news moderates the effects of partisanship and the winner/loser gap on voter perceptions of election integrity.

期刊介绍： Electoral Studies is an international journal covering all aspects of voting, the central act in the democratic process. Political scientists, economists, sociologists, game theorists, geographers, contemporary historians and lawyers have common, and overlapping, interests in what causes voters to act as they do, and the consequences. Electoral Studies provides a forum for these diverse approaches. It publishes fully refereed papers, both theoretical and empirical, on such topics as relationships between votes and seats, and between election outcomes and politicians reactions; historical, sociological, or geographical correlates of voting behaviour; rational choice analysis of political acts, and critiques of such analyses.
