N2 - Research from the Netherlands suggests a relationship between the newspapers one reads and the opinions one holds on international affairs. After several alternative explanations are assessed, two remain as most plausible: that images of the world conveyed by newspapers affect readers’ views; or that readers’ basic political attitudes account for both their newspaper choices and their images of the world. When translated into models for testing by LISREL, some support is given to the hypothesis of newspaper impact on readers’ opinions by a content analysis of cold war images in a number of Dutch newspapers, combined with survey data on their readers’ basic political attitudes and cold war opinions.
