The Role of the News Media in Perpetuating Electoral Fraud Myths in the UK and US

通过进行多个量化文本分析，该项目试图检验英国和美国新闻媒体在延续有关英国和美国选举中选民和选举舞弊的神话方面所扮演的角色。主要的研究问题包括：新闻报道是更多地基于事实还是精英言论，小报和党派媒体在英国相对于美国的作用，哪些政策与欺诈有关(例如，移民)，以及媒体使用的特定框架。

Through conducting multiple Quantitative Text Analyses, this project seeks to examine the British and American news media's role in perpetuating myths about voter and electoral fraud in UK and US elections. The central research questions include whether news coverage is based more on fact or elite rhetoric, the role of tabloids and the partisan press in the UK relative to the US, what policies are linked to fraud (e.g., immigration), and the particular frames used by the media.
