| Abstract: | No consensus exists on what constitutes open, deliberative media discourse. A simple, measurable and comparative model based on three aspects of source and issue construction in news accounts: access, recognition and responsiveness. The model is applied to coverage of 2001-2003 World Economic Forum (WEF) meetings and protests against the organization's role in global economic policies. Both demonstrators and WEF participants were granted news access, but WEF actors were recognized more formally and given greater input in news content, including ownership claims to many activist issue positions. Journalistic deference to the WEF communication agenda limited mutual responsiveness. |
