Abstract:
We present a new measure for the political position of news outlets based on politicians’ selective sharing of news items. We apply our measure to twelve major media outlets by analyzing tweets of the Members of Parliament (MPs) on Twitter. For each news outlet under consideration, we compute the correlation between the political position of the seven parties and their MPs’ relative number of Twitter referrals to that outlet.
