Our new content analysis study reveals that right-wing alternative media in the US and UK prominently feature in mainstream media, with their perspectives often not subject to any critical challenge by journalists - Thread 1/6 JOMEC @ Cardiff Uni Richard Thomas journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…

We examined the degree to which left-wing and right-wing alternative media sites, as well as the Twitter accounts of their main contributors, appeared in US and UK mainstream media between 2017 and 2021, identifying a total of 3481 references to analyse in detail. 2/6

It found mainstream media featured alternative right-wing sites far more than left-wing sites (particularly the case in the US compared to the UK), and their credibility as information sources was rarely questioned or challenged by professional journalists. 3/6

Our cross-national comparative content analysis study concluded that the UK’s public service media ecology mitigated to see degree the partisan influence of right-wing sites whereas they flourished in the US’s commercialized media system 4/6

We argue that the more national media systems evolve into market-driven and deregulated environments then the more the editorial influence of right-wing partisan media will increase and conflate with the world of mainstream media. 5/6

Study produced by myself at JOMEC @ Cardiff Uni Richard Thomas Chedza Simon and Wyl Jones at Swansea University and published in the International Communication Gazette 'Normalising right-wing alternative media perspectives: A cross-national study of US and UK mainstream media systems'
