“…Third, journalists in each region prioritize news about their linguistic community (including news from neighboring countries) over news about other linguistic regions within Switzerland (Meier and Schanne, 1995;Kriesi et al 1996). The priority given to news about the linguistic community is one likely reason why Downey and Koenig (2006) find that German-language Swiss newspapers (French-and Italian-language Swiss papers are not included in the study) were more likely to report on an incident between prominent politicians from Italy and Germany during a meeting of the European parliament, than newspapers from countries that are part of the European Union (Belgium, France, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom).…”

This article considers the hypothesis that media-driven political interest shapes party identification, the timing of vote decisions, and electoral participation. To estimate the effect of media-driven political interest, we make a key distinction between political interest as a lifetime political orientation and political interest that rises and falls with the occurrence of noteworthy political events. We then exploit the shared media markets in Switzerland and its neighboring countries to overcome the otherwise crippling endogeneity problem and identify exogenous increases in Swiss citizens' self-reported political interest caused by the coverage of national elections in France, Germany, and Italy. We find that media-driven political interest increases the length of time individuals use to make their vote decisions, decreases partisanship, and increases self-reported and actual turnout.
