“…In general, the results of this study provided limited support for the often assumed tabloidized media diet of citizens with populist attitudes, as we only found a tabloidized media preference among citizens with exclusionist populist attitudes (e.g. Karner, 2013;Krämer, 2014;Mazzoleni et al, 2003). This may be explained in the light of the higher threshold for the more distant, right-wing exclusionist dimension, which makes citizens with such philosophies easier to distinguish by their media preferences than citizens with less extreme, societally acceptable antiestablishment populist attitudes.…”

“…In previous studies, the theoretical assumptions of the media's relationship to populism were predominately based on right-wing populism (e.g., Caiani & della Porta, 2011;Mazzoleni, Stewart, & Horsfield, 2003). The Austrian tabloid newspaper Kronen Zeitung, for example, has been criticized for being favorable of the right-wing populist party FPÖ, and its populist news coverage is assumed to shape xenophobic sentiments among citizens (e.g., Karner, 2013). Following this rationale, readers of tabloid newspapers may have strong exclusionist populist attitudes as these outlets frame issues in a monocultural way.…”

Although a growing body of literature points to the particular media diet of populist voters, we know too little about what specific media preferences characterize citizens with populist attitudes. This article investigates to what extent citizens with antiestablishment and exclusionist populist attitudes are attracted to attitudinalcongruent media content. We collected survey data using a nationally representative sample (N = 809) and found that citizens' preferences for media content are in sync with their populist attitudes. Beyond having a tabloidized and entertainment-based media diet, populist voters self-select media content that actively articulates the divide between the "innocent" people and "culprit" others. These findings provide new insights into the appeal of different types of media populism among citizens with populist attitudes on different dimensions.

“…This article particularly builds on studies that have moved beyond the negativepositive dichotomy. Karner's (2013) analysis of Austrian Euroscepticism and an analysis of political party positions in the media by Statham et al (2010) reveal a plurality of positions, including alternative pro-European evaluations of EU affairs. Indeed, some studies have also looked into ways in which to tackle Euroscepticism's contested conceptual nature.…”

The representation of EU debates in the mass media has received comparatively little attention in studies on Euroscepticism, despite criticism on the EU having become mainstream since the early 1990s in particular. Recently, a number of salient crises have brought European politics to the fore like never before. This article presents an analysis of different types of criticism on and opposition towards the EU as present in media at the height of the Eurozone crisis in 2012. Using a four-fold typology, it looks at views about the EU and its policies as present in coverage by quality newspapers in Austria, Ireland and the Netherlands. An analysis of 1,085 claims from 454 articles shows that, rather than rejecting integration or EU involvement in certain policies, criticism was predominantly aimed at existing policies and on presenting different policy options.

“…Few media studies have so far worked along similar lines. In his analysis of Austrian Euroscepticism, Karner (2013) argues, among other things, that Austrian quality media include alternative evaluation of European affairs. Based on a claim-making analysis of political party positions as covered by the media, Statham et al (2010: 271) argue that criticism mostly concerned 'the substance of Europe'.…”
