Tænketankes brug af dagbladene som et marked for politiske idéer i Danmark

Abstract

How has the visibility of think tanks in Danish newspapers developed in the recent decade, and how might this development be accounted for? The article shows that the ten most mentioned think tanks have become more visible in Danish newspapers in the period 2006-2015 compared to the most mentioned interest organisations. It is argued that think tanks are using the media as a means of supplying independent ideas which are in demand among decision-makers and other target audiences. In addition, the article suggests that think tanks with idea political stances are more visible in Danish newspapers than think tanks which focus on certain issues or policies.
