Abstract

I briefly summarize the economics literature on ideologically slanted political media (which I call, for short, partisan news), and discuss directions for future research. In the literature review, I take a history of thought approach, describing how theory and empirical work have fed off one another and real world events. I also note ways in which the work of economists differs from comparable work from other disciplines. In the discussion of future research, I identify open questions and policy options, and assess the relationship between research from economics and other disciplines.
