Study finds first drop in think tanks cites: progressive groups see biggest decline

FAIR’s annual survey of think tank citations in the mainstream media focuses attention on the groups that media turn to for “expert” sources. Rarely described politically when they are quoted (Extra!, 5–6/98), think tank sources often appear as neutral observers of the news, in contrast to partisan politicians and representatives of advocacy groups. If the media have a “liberal” bias, as conservatives have long claimed, then one would expect news outlets to seek out progressive think tanks as sources. However, in the history of this study, begun in 1996, we have instead found a consistent preference for conservative think tanks over progressive ones.

Until about 1970, most Americans thought that the President arrived at the White House by summing up all of the interests represented by the winning party's platform. The ideological divide between Democrats and Republicans in the House reached an all time low around the same time. Thirty years later, with presidential candidates less beholden to their parties and the differences between the parties growing larger on many issues, the world has become increasingly complicated. The more complicated events become, the greater is the need for interpretation along the way to help make sense of what is happening. Only politics and religion could rank ahead of economics in terms of complexity. That's where the economic experts at the think…

Under the Influence - Think Tanks & the Money that fuels them

Think tanks have become a growth industry. A handful existed a few decades ago. Now there are hundreds of these non-profit institutions. The marriage of multi-millions in private money and once-unorthodox ideas packs a powerful punch. President Bush has adopted domestic policies nurtured in think tanks from private social security accounts to fundamental tax reform. Marketplace explores what donors believe they get for their money, how ideas are bankrolled and promoted, and the thin line between think tank educational efforts and outright lobbying, as well as new efforts to reform the system

Think Tank Coverage: More attention, but not more balance

Even as media reliance on think tanks increased in 2003, the slant in coverage toward conservative groups and away from progressives held steady. While mainstream media citations of the top 25 think tanks increased 13 percent from 2002 to 2003, right-leaning institutions received 47 percent of last year’s citations, with centrists getting 39 percent and 13 percent going to groups that leaned to the left

The role of think tanks in US foreign policy

This issue of U.S. Foreign Policy Agenda examines the unique role played by public policy research and analysis organizations, or "think tanks," in the formulation of U.S. foreign policy. A leading State Department official outlines the principal benefits that think tanks offer to U.S. policy-makers. Two experts review the history and evolution of think tanks' involvement in U.S. foreign policy and cite the recent proliferation of these institutions around the world. Two think tank presidents and an executive vice president explain how a leading U.S. think tank operates, the special role of a think tank created by the U.S. Congress, and how one of the nation's largest think tanks works with the U.S. military. Finally, three case studies show the influence of think tanks on two key policy issues and demonstrate how to establish a think tank, using Honduras as an example.

What´s in a Label?: right-wing think tanks are often quoted, rarely labeled

For the third year in a row, conservative or right-leaning think tanks in 1997 provided more than half of major media's think tank citations, according to FAIR's third annual survey of major newspaper and broadcast media citations in the Nexis computer database. Think tanks of the right provided 53 percent of citations, while progressive or left-leaning think tanks received just 16 percent of total citations...

Brookings: stand-in for the left

The most important think tank for the media on the Persian Gulf Crisis was the Brookings Institution. In August 1990 alone, the group's representatives spoke 14 times on network evening newscasts, not counting appearances on Nightline, the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour or network news specials. A database search ofH citations in six national newspapers found 440 citations for Brookings, almost as many as the next seven top think tanks combined...
