In experiments with US respondents, we first vary beliefs about whether an outlet reports the news in a right-wing biased, left-wing biased, or unbiased way. We then measure demand for a newsletter covering articles from this outlet. Respondents only reduce their demand for biased news if the bias is inconsistent with their own political beliefs, suggesting a trade-off between accuracy concerns and belief confirmation motives. We quantify this trade-off using a structural model and find a similar quantitative importance of both motives.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> <span class="event-description">I</span>f you are interested in <b>meeting Ingar Haaland </b>after the seminar (meeting slots of 30’ , room no 05.330 please register via this doodle-link: </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/el5yJN5a<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Best regards,</span><span lang="DE-AT" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Gabriele Prochaska</span><span lang="DE-AT" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="DE-AT"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE-AT"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><span>-- </span><br><span>VCEE-seminar mailing list</span><br><span>VCEE-seminar@lists.univie.ac.at</span><br><span>https://lists.univie.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/vcee-seminar</span><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
