在不断变化的媒体环境中，对党派信息选择性暴露的关注已成为政治传播学者的主要关注点。本研究通过对一个独特人群——政治博客的读者——的调查，来探索对主流媒体偏见的感知（敌意媒体感知）与选择性地接触提供志同道合信息和社会支持的媒体资源之间的关系。我们发现，敌对的媒体感知是这一受众中党派选择性曝光的重要动机，而且这种感知可以通过鼓励访问政治同质的在线空间间接导致表达性政治参与。
ABSTRACT Concerns about selective exposure to partisan information have become a mainstay for scholars of political communication in the changing media environment. This study draws on a survey of a unique population—readers of political blogs—to explore the relationship between perceptions of mainstream media bias (as hostile media perception) and selective exposure to media sources that provide like-minded information as well as social support. We find that hostile media perception is an important motivator for partisan selective exposure among this audience, and also that such perceptions can lead indirectly to expressive political participation by encouraging visits to politically homogeneous online spaces.
