Organizational ties to political parties and interest groups’ news coverage

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Happy to share this new paper, published open access in the European Journal of Political Research.👇

142

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

However, since stronger organizational ties grant interest groups direct access to political parties, the findings above all indicate that media coverage of groups reflects existing patterns of access to key political decision-makers.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

To the extent that organizational ties to parties help interest groups with fewer financial and human resources that seek media attention to actually attain this goal, ties may contribute to more diverse media coverage.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

The study also contributes to the literature on party–interest group organizational relationships, which has so far focused on describing and explaining the existence of such ties rather than their consequences.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Hence, our study throws new light on what factors drive media attention to interest groups, and offers a novel description of interest groups, parties, and power in politics and political communication.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

We find support for our hypotheses: Interest groups with stronger ties to political parties are generally more likely to appear in the news, and this association is strengthened when the parties themselves get more media attention.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

The research design does not allow for strong causal inferences; however, we are able to control for ‘the usual suspects’ of possible confounders, including group characteristics.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

We use interest group survey data on the existence of a wide range of ties between specific groups and parties, and we record the media attention these actors get between 2016 and 2018 using a comprehensive corpus of daily news content from twelve newspapers.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

We study interest groups in four European democracies: Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

We hypothesize that interest groups with stronger organizational ties to political parties are more likely to appear in the news, and that this effect is positively conditioned by parties’ media attention.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

We propose that interest groups’ organizational ties to parties are an important asset and a signal to journalists for groups seeking media attention.

110

Elin Haugsgjerd Allern @allernelin.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

@ma1ken.bsky.social, Gunnar Thesen and I examine whether the strength of interest groups’ organizational ties to political parties is associated with the media attention these groups receive, focusing on newspaper coverage.
