A typology of alternative online political media in the United Kingdom: A longitudinal content analysis (2015–2018)

Abstract: Alternative online political media (AOPM) have become increasingly prominent elements of the media system in many countries. In response, numerous academic studies have examined the nature of these newer forms of alternative media. In line with this recent scholarship, in this study we carry out a longitudinal and systematic content analysis of nine AOPM websites in the United Kingdom (UK) ( N = 3452) between 2015 and 2018. Overall, we found a diversity of content, contrasting values and degrees of partisanshi… Show more

“…News indices are associated with well‐known brands (e.g., Google, Yahoo) and provide editorial monitoring of content, but serve mainly as a hub for aggregating news stories from other sources. In contrast, independent websites are numerous, generally have less well‐known brands, do not distribute news via traditional channels, and often explicitly advocate specific positions (e.g., “skeptical of human‐influenced climate change”) (McDowell‐Naylor et al, 2023). Social media emphasize user interconnectivity, feature user generated content, and foster exchanges among users (Deuze, 2003; Geers, 2020).…”

“…Daher kommt es vielfach zur Integration oder Inkorporation unterschiedlicher Medienformate und Verbreitungstechnologien (Aharoni, 2022, S. 16;Hájek & Carpentier, 2015, S. 368). Diese Arbeit unterstützt die Ansicht, dass Alternativmedien, die inzwischen auch ein Millionenpublikum ansprechen und auf die klassischen Medien besonderen Einfluss ausüben können, ein bedeutender Teil des Mediensystems in zeitgenössischen Demokratien darstellen (McDowell-Naylor et al, 2023;Grigoryan & Suetzl, 2019, S. 181).…”

“…Eine Möglichkeit, die Produktionsbedingungen von Alternativmedien zu untersuchen, besteht darin, detaillierte Fallstudien durchzuführen. Diese können sich auf ein singuläres Alternativmedium (Harcup, 2016b) oder eine Gruppe von ähnlichen oder (vermeintlich) gegensätzlichen (rechts-und linksgerichtet) Alternativmedien konzentrieren (McDowell-Naylor et al, 2023). Eine derartige Fallstudie kann die Organisation, die Entscheidungsfindung und die Praktiken zur Inhaltsproduktion in einem oder mehreren alternativen Nachrichtenportalen erforschen.…”
