Abstract

Challenging Bauer and Nadler to look beyond the US context, we invite them to engage with international research on right-wing alternative media and clarify their conceptualization of right-wing and conservative media along the axes of professional vs. non-professional, mainstream vs. alternative, objective vs. partisan journalism.

Discussions

• Tine Figenschou and Karoline Ihlebæk helpfully push us to clarify the global stakes of our argument, and also emphasize the need to better understand the audiences of right-wing news. (4/6) doi.org/1 [bsky, 7 points, 1 comments]
