| Abstract: | The gatekeeping process in local TV news was examined by applying content analysis techniques to observational research in a network-affiliate station's newsroom in Indianapolis. The study aimed to explore how the stories are selected from a pool of potential news items. Stories about government, crime, and accidents seemed to appear more often. Process elements included group decision-making, organizational constraints, and a broad interest- importance framework. |
