strength of conflicts of interests among publishers

on that issue you could find something here: “Partisan Bias in Economic News: Evidence on the Agenda-Setting Behavior of U.S. Newspapers” [2011](con Valentino Larcinese e James M. Snyder, Jr.). Journal of Public Economics, 95(9-10): 1178-1189

Thanks @benedettoponti ! I'm aware of such research when it comes to conflicts of interest in legacy newsrooms. What I'm really curious about would be to assess the conflicts of interest of, e.g:

• A news org. that belongs to a rich oligarch where journalists don't cover that oligarch's business interests (e.g the censorship at Bolloré's properties in France)
• A news org. that bends to its advertisers (e.g Telegraph and HSBC)
• An NGO that sensasionalize research (e.g the infamous report on Congo civil war death by International Rescue Committe, see on Wikipedia)
• A corporation that spins its annual result to make them look better to shareholders (e.g any annual report from a DAX company)

I don't if there exists a methodology to compare such conflicts of interest and assess their impact on the quality of the information produced by these organizations.
