Who's covering what in the year of the woman?

Article Abstract:

A sample of the final editions of 10 top US dailies, appearing on 14 randomly selected dates in 1992, was studied for by-line gender and story content in the year of the woman. Men wrote 70.7% and woman 29.3% of the by-lined Page One Stories. Men wrote on war, politics, and technology, while women wrote on education, social issues, and health. Women were more likely to cover local than state news.

Case study - Wichita and Charlotte: the leap of a passive press to activism

Article Abstract:

The Wichita Eagle and the Charlotte Observer replaced their commercially dormant roles with journalistic radicalism by initiating a process where journalists and the public jointly decided the content of news to be reported. Both papers allowed people to prioritize news items in the 1992 presidential campaign by relying on polling data and other techniques to assess public opinion.

The end of predictability

Article Abstract:

The fall of communism and the Soviet Union, and the end of the Cold War have led to the end of news predictability. News broadcasters report less on international foreign relations and have decreased coverage space for political developments. News coverage involves all sections of the society and efforts must be made to involve them in conveying effective news.
