Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examined the correlations between alternative media use and extremist attitudes, populist attitudes and extremist attitudes, and whether populist attitudes moderated the correlation between alternative media use and extremist attitudes. Our results revealed that every alternative media category on both the political left and right was associated with extremist attitudes. However, populist attitudes were not associated with extremist attitudes, nor did populist attitudes moderate the relationship between alternative media use and extremist attitudes. It is our intention that the current work serves as a first step for scholars seeking to examine media use and extremist attitudes.
