A new Harvard study examines how newspaper endorsements of political candidates may be influenced by media bias. The study, led by Yale political science professor Kevin DeLuca, investigates whether newspapers prioritize a candidate's perceived quality or lean towards partisan preferences when making endorsements.
Newspapers historically have endorsed political candidates and while the insights of the print publication can be a helpful resource for readers, a study explores the relationship between endorsements from newspapers and how it influences media bias . In a Harvard study published in 2023, lead researcher Kevin DeLuca, a Yale political science professor, assessed how newspapers may be biased in their preferences for one political candidate over another.
The study defines candidate quality as the characteristics of political candidates that make them better at governing like competency, experience, and not being corrupt. The report also points out that if newspapers favor a particular political candidate, it may reflect a partisan bias by the newspaper influencing their endorsements, without considering the political candidate’s qualities to run for office.
