Abstract

amp; Mikkelsen Båge, 2022). Therefore, our study fills this gap and focuses on differences in predictors of avoiding selected distinct types of news media that differ in their editorial practices and audience construction: public service broadcasters, commercial broadcasters, mainstream print and online news, tabloid media, and alternative media. We consider the selective news avoidance as one of the results of audiences’ need to cope with the multiplicity of news sources by building their media repertoires (Tóth et al., 2022) where this selective active news avoidance of particular news media types may refer to audience members’ differences in attitudes to news media and in media trust, in media literacy and reflexivity and media expectations as well as in political attitudes and interest in politics. To grasp these differences, we calculate logistic regression models to compare predictors of avoidance of each selected news media type. The study employs data from the 2022 representative survey of Czech adult population (N = 2340).
