摘要

我利用美联社(AP)新闻专线对带有政治色彩的“非法移民”一词的禁令，研究了偏颇语言的说服效果。我的经验策略结合了禁令的时间和不同媒体对美联社报道的基线依赖的差异。我记录了大量的禁令从美联社拷贝到媒体的传播。此外，通过当地媒体接触到禁令的个人对限制性移民政策的支持明显较低。这种影响在温和派和移民较少的地区更为明显，而且不会转移到对移民以外问题的看法上。(jel d72, l82, z13)

Persuasion through Slanted Language: Evidence from the Media Coverage of Immigration

I study the persuasive effects of slanted language, exploiting a ban on the politically charged term “illegal immigrant” by the Associated Press (AP) news wire. My empirical strategy combines the timing of the ban with variation across media outlets in their baseline reliance on AP copy. I document sizable diffusion of the ban from AP copy to media outlets. Moreover, individuals exposed to the ban through local media show significantly lower support for restrictive immigration policies. This effect is more pronounced for moderates and in locations with fewer immigrants, and does not transfer to views on issues other than immigration. (JEL D72, L82, Z13)
