News “Attraction” and Digital Inequalities: Incidental News Exposure and the Equalization or Stratification of Political Information
Abstract Understanding the impact of digital media on news inequalities is critical for democracy. The literature on incidental exposure challenges the idea that major platforms shrink information gaps, and research has turned to the identification of variables that explain how those gaps widen or persist. We use Latent Class Analysis to operationalize the metaphor of “attracting the news” and investigate incidental exposure as both an individual trait and temporal state.
