ABSTRACT The role of the press as a political watchdog is crucial to the functioning of democracy. Especially in the run-up to elections, voters depend on the media's presentation of parties and candidates to make informed, responsible choices at the ballot box. But who, then, influences the news media? Empirical evidence in the United States and Europe suggests that political party campaigns and election coverage in the news media are interconnected and influence each other. This study tests whether such agenda-setting effects between party campaigns and the media also take place in the general elections in the world's largest democracy, India. India's western-type political system has a distinct media system characterized by high competition, diversification, non-consolidation and formal and informal ties between the media, commercial interests and political actors. Content analysis and Granger's causality test of newspaper coverage (N = 716) and party campaign messages (N = 458) found that agenda-setting effects do occur in India, but are largely bi-directional. We also found an overwhelming focus of both newspapers’ election coverage and of all major party campaigns on one single candidate, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Narendra Modi. This, we argue, is a result of the broader trends that have shaped Indian politics in recent years. The significant correlations and non-significant causal effects between party campaign and media coverage also indicate a trade-off situation between political power negotiation and political balance in the press.

2014年印度大选的一级和二级议程设置:党媒体关系的时间序列分析

摘要 新闻界作为政治监督者的作用对于民主的运作至关重要。尤其是在选举前夕,选民依靠媒体对政党和候选人的介绍,在投票箱做出知情、负责任的选择。但是,那么谁来影响新闻媒体呢?美国和欧洲的经验证据表明,政党竞选活动和新闻媒体的选举报道相互关联并相互影响。这项研究检验了政党运动和媒体之间的这种议程设置效应是否也发生在世界上最大的民主国家印度的大选中。印度的西方政治体制具有鲜明的媒体体系,其特点是高度竞争、多样化、非整合以及媒体之间的正式和非正式联系,商业利益和政治行为者。内容分析和格兰杰对报纸报道(N = 716)和政党竞选信息(N = 458)的因果关系检验发现,议程设置效应确实发生在印度,但主要是双向的。我们还发现,两家报纸的选举报道和所有主要政党竞选活动都压倒性地关注一位候选人,即印度人民党 (BJP) 的纳伦德拉·莫迪 (Narendra Modi)。我们认为,这是近年来塑造印度政治的更广泛趋势的结果。政党竞选与媒体报道之间的显着相关性和非显着因果关系也表明政治权力谈判与新闻媒体中的政治平衡之间的权衡情况。对报纸报道(N = 716)和政党竞选信息(N = 458)的因果关系检验发现,议程设置效应确实发生在印度,但主要是双向的。我们还发现,两家报纸的选举报道和所有主要政党竞选活动都压倒性地关注一位候选人,即印度人民党 (BJP) 的纳伦德拉·莫迪 (Narendra Modi)。我们认为,这是近年来塑造印度政治的更广泛趋势的结果。政党竞选与媒体报道之间的显着相关性和非显着因果关系也表明政治权力谈判与新闻媒体政治平衡之间的权衡情况。对报纸报道(N = 716)和政党竞选信息(N = 458)的因果关系检验发现,议程设置效应确实发生在印度,但主要是双向的。我们还发现,两家报纸的选举报道和所有主要政党竞选活动都压倒性地关注一位候选人,即印度人民党 (BJP) 的纳伦德拉·莫迪 (Narendra Modi)。我们认为,这是近年来塑造印度政治的更广泛趋势的结果。政党竞选与媒体报道之间的显着相关性和非显着因果关系也表明了政治权力谈判与新闻媒体政治平衡之间的权衡情况。我们还发现,两家报纸的选举报道和所有主要政党竞选活动都压倒性地关注一位候选人,即印度人民党 (BJP) 的纳伦德拉·莫迪 (Narendra Modi)。我们认为,这是近年来塑造印度政治的更广泛趋势的结果。政党竞选与媒体报道之间的显着相关性和非显着因果关系也表明了政治权力谈判与新闻媒体政治平衡之间的权衡情况。我们还发现,两家报纸的选举报道和所有主要政党竞选活动都压倒性地关注一位候选人,即印度人民党 (BJP) 的纳伦德拉·莫迪 (Narendra Modi)。我们认为,这是近年来塑造印度政治的更广泛趋势的结果。政党竞选与媒体报道之间的显着相关性和非显着因果关系也表明政治权力谈判与新闻媒体中的政治平衡之间的权衡情况。
