| Popis: | Many explanations for news media behavior focus on the biases of journalists, neglecting the structural constraints they face. Others have theorized that the power of ownership limits the autonomy of reporters and represents a significant influence on news coverage. This article examines the internal records of the New York Times and identifies several mechanisms of management control. Editors suggest the tone and substance of stories and later the content and significance of stories that reporters submit. Owners establish editorial polices and intervene directly in news decisions. And they shape the ideological environment through their power to hire, promote and fire. |
