The limits of strategic narratives
Propaganda feedback loops as communication rituals
The goal of this paper is to deepen the clarity of Benkler, Farris, and Robert’s “propaganda feedback loop” concept. It argues that a sizeable portion of the information ecosystem in the United States is characterized by a media logic that demands acceptance of preferred narratives, irrespective of factual accuracy. When an individual or entire news organization fails to abide by the demands of prescribed narratives, no matter how factually unsou…
Can presidential misinformation on climate change be corrected? Evidence from Internet and phone experiments
Can presidential misinformation affect political knowledge and policy views of the mass public, even when that misinformation is followed by a fact-check? We present results from two experiments, conducted online and over the telephone, in which respondents were presented with Trump misstatements on climate change. While Trump’s misstatements on their own reduced factual accuracy, corrections prompted the average subject to become more accurate. …
Who’s Elite and How the Answer Matters to Politics
In How Political Actors Use the Media, Van Aelst and Walgrave (2017) argue that to understand the role of media in politics, we should look beyond their influence on politics (mediatization) and ex
Rhetoric and Recollection
President George W. Bush and his administration presented a variety of justifications for the 2003 Iraq war. Academic literature and journalism about the communication campaign emphasized two reasons: Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction program and links to terrorism. Drawing on the first systematic content analysis of the administration's official speeches and statements, this study recounts a more complex, changing campaign with surprisi…
Media coverage of New Zealand’s 2014 election campaign
New Zealand’s 2014 general election campaign was seen by many observers as out of the ordinary: it was variously described as ‘weird’, ‘bizarre’ and ‘crazy’. However, did media coverage reflect the unusual nature of the actual campaign? This study’s content analysis of that coverage reveals that the news media’s concentration on ‘non-policy’ issues meant that much of it was dominated by alleged scandals, which were reported with a negative tone, …
Did the Global War on Terror end the CNN effect
While the Global War on Terror (GWOT) aimed to eradicate terrorists, it also allegedly claimed another casualty — independent media coverage of foreign policy — a key component of the CNN effect. To many analysts of this media effect, the launch of the GWOT clarified foreign policy priorities, much like the Cold War era. From this perspective, the media, which enjoyed relative freedom in their foreign policy coverage in the 1990s, became subservi…
The Iraq War and the Responsibility to Protect
Before the 2003 Iraq war, the political leadership of the United States and United Kingdom had to sell the case for war to their people and the world. This was attempted through a number of speeches that employed rhetorical justifications for the war. Two prominent justifications used during this period involved the employment of security and humanitarian narratives. The security narrative focused on claims regarding Iraq's undermining of interna…
