Politicians' Reading of Public Opinion and its Biases
Examining a central assumption widely accepted as being crucial in making democracy work - that politicians form a more or less accurate image of public opinion and take that perception into account when representing citizens - Politicians' Reading of Public Opinion and its Biases presents a paradox of representation. On the one hand, politicians invest enormously in reading public opinion. They are committed to finding out what the people want and public opinion is a key consideration in many of their undertakings. Yet, on the other hand, politicians' perceptions of public opinion are surprisingly inaccurate. Politicians are hardly better at estimating public opinion than ordinary citizens ...

Journalistiek uit balans? Inhoud, percepties, en gevolgen van partijdigheid van de Vlaamse media
Is de journalistiek in Vlaanderen uit balans? Als we critici mogen geloven wel. Zo beklagen sommige politici zich wel eens over de ongelijke behandeling van politieke partijen in de traditionele media. Dit imago van partijdigheid draagt bij aan het tanend vertrouwen in de traditionele pers. Vertrouwen dat nochtans cruciaal is, wil deze pers haar rol als vierde macht in onze democratie naar behoren vervullen.00In dit boek werpen we een nieuw licht op het debat over partijdigheid van de pers. We onderzoeken aan de hand van originele data hoe en in welke mate de belangrijkste stakeholders - burgers, politici, en journalisten zelf - partijdigheid ervaren. Hebben ze het gevoel dat Vlaamse nieuwsmedia partijdig zijn? En waarom (niet)? En stroken deze percepties met de realiteit?00In 'Journalistiek uit balans?' formuleren we antwoorden op al deze vragen en bieden we actuele inzichten voor studenten, onderzoekers, journalisten, politici en burgers die begaan zijn met de werking van de media en journalistiek en hun impact op onze samenleving.
