“This indicates that it was not primarily the focus on economic threat in immigration-related news that made people turn to support anti-immigrant parties but presumably some perception of a cultural threat and accordingly a public problematization of immigration.”
“The more news media reported about immigration-related topics, the higher the aggregate share of vote intention for anti-immigrant parties, even when controlling for real-world developments.”
“[T]he salience of stories about immigration issues is significantly and positively related to support for anti-immigration parties.”
“The news variables are effective with a lag of 3 months and 1 month respectively.”
