As part of my master thesis, I am examining the degree of political
parallelism (Seymour-Ure, 1974; Hallin & Mancini, 2004) in daily
newspapers of European countries. In association with my supervisor
Dr. M. Vergeer of the Department of Communication Science (Radboud
University Nijmegen, NL) a questionnaire was constructed for
determining the extent to which newspapers are linked to certain
political orientations.
Based on market shares, ten of the most important daily newspapers
were selected for each country. Since performing a content analysis is
time-consuming and expensive, we will execute an expert survey. As
part of this expert survey we would like to ask for your help.
For this study, I need a large number of experts, in the field of
political science, political communication and/or newspaper
industries. Do you consider yourself as an expert in this field?
Please contact me by e-mail and I will send you the questionnaire.
Filling out this questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes of
your time. Anonymity will be safeguarded. Data and results will be
filed and available upon request at the beginning of September 2008.
Also if you do not consider yourself among experts in this field, you
could help us by providing names and/or e-mail addresses of people
who, in your opinion, are experts in the field of politics, political
communication and/or newspaper industries.
For further information, please contact me by e-mail

Thank you in advance for your help.
Yours sincerely,
