When consuming less local news, voters are more likely to vote consistently for just one party—essentially using national news to inform local voting decisions, according to research from MIT Sloan.
The findings have implications for the role that information inequality plays in shaping policy
...an increase in straight ticket voting, in turn, translates into more polarized voters, said Charles Angelucci, one of the study's authors.
“We found large variations and inequalities in voters' awareness of news...across age, gender, partisan preference, and socioeconomic status."
“A direct link exists between how much voters know about the news and the attention those voters receive from politicians.”
