• Main results (Van Hoof, Jacobi, Ruigrok)

  News diversity varies over time. Diversity for party types increased over time. For diversity of issue dimensions, we did not find  a  clear trend. Television news  is, compared to newspapers, more diverse for party types but less diverse on issue dimensions.

• Optimal level of news diversity (Van Hoof, Jacobi, Ruigrok)

  When news  attention reflects the power base of these parties in Parliament. The findings showed that  attention for coalition parties is always overrepresented in the news. This is in line with the  literature on media logic. However, the level of overrepresentation is not a constant.
