Weidman S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications Syracuse University Author Information: Address: 225 Cambridge Street, Syracuse, New York 13210 Phone: (315) 423-7902 E-mail: [email protected] 3 Deviance in News Coverage of On-line Communications2 Abstract This study advances the argument that deviance is employed as a component of newsworthiness to varying degrees by different types of information providers. The author examines coverage of on-line communications in specialized and general interest publications and compares them in terms of four dimensions of deviance (conflict, sensationalism, prominence, and novelty) and finds that newspaper articles have more conflict and sensationalism than articles in more specialized publications, specifically business publications and computer magazines. Deviance in News Coverage of On-line Communications3 Deviance in News Coverage of On-line Communications: A Print Media Comparison INTRODUCTION In recent years, residents of the United States have witnessed the emergence of a new mass medium: on-line communications. Commercial on-line services, such as CompuServe, Prodigy, and America Online, as well as a number of internet access providers, have made it possible for a great number of people (approximately 30 million, so farl) to make use of this medium, which was previously only available to universities and research institutions. With the increase in the number of users has come considerable media coverage of on-line developments. In 1994 the phrase "information superhighway" became the buzzword, and motoring metaphors were published ad nauseam, thanks in part to President Clinton and Vice President Gore, who put the subject on the national agenda. News coverage of on-line developments took several forms: level- headed reporting of what actually exists today, speculation about future possibilities, and exaggerations of both the opportunities and the hazards of the "infobahn." Meanwhile, a vast array of legal and ethical problems have cropped up on the internet and the commercial on-line services. Theft, fraud, libel, sexual harassment, invasion of privacy, obscenity, and child pornography are among the crimes allegedly being committed on-line. Many of these developments have been deemed newsworthy,as well. Much of this coverage has involved speculation as to how existing communications laws and regulations will (or won't) be applied to on-line communications. Though still in its formative years, on-line communication provides a plethora of research opportunities for communications scholars. Existing media 1 As reported in Money magazine by L. Graham, "Eight good reasons to go on-line." December, 1994, p. 110. 5 Deviance in News Coverage of On-line Communications4 effects theories can be tested in this new arena, and on-line content can be analyzed and compared to that of other media. The extensive traditional media coverage of on-line developments provides an excellent opportunity for researchers to further examine influences on news content. Taking advantage of that opportunity, this study continues a line of inquiry into the role deviance plays in news selection by looking at how different types of print media have reported on the legal issues regarding on-line communications. I hypothesize that there is a difference in the coverage offered by newspapers, as opposed to more specializedpublications, such as the general business press and computer magazines. THEORY Influences on News Content The study of news content is closely associated with some long-standing mass communication models. In their introduction to The Manufacture of News (1981), editors Stanley Cohen and Jock Young identify two "polarized traditions" (p. 13) with regard to news content. These are the mass manipulative or hegemony model and the market or commercial model (p. 13). The mass manipulative model sees the media as controlled by a "monolithic and powerful source" in the service of the ruling class and used to "mystify and manipulate the public" (p. 13). This model is derived from Marxist theory and the writings of Antonio Gramsci. The market model "argues that there is variety and diversity in the information and opinions presented by the mass media and that such variation minimizes the chances of manipulation. Principles such as 'give the public what it wants' (and their commercial implications), rather than some manipulative conspiracy, are what determine how the media select and present information" (p. 13). The market model has recently been explicated by John McManus (1994) in response to a trend among media owners to applythe market model intentionally Deviance in News Coverage of On-line Communications5 especially the "give the public what it wants" aspectto their news operations to better facilitate the selling of the news (p.1). Under "market-driven journalism," as McManus calls it, the reader is a "customer," the news is a "product," and the circulation or signal area is a "market" (p. 1). McManus equates this trend with the trend toward concentrated ownership. "As newspapers, television stations, even the networks, have been sold by the families of those entrepreneurs [who started them] to investors on Wall Street, more and more of the nation's news is being produced by corporations whose stockholders seek to maximize return on their investment" (p. 1), which explains why the jargon of MBA programs and corporate boardrooms has been applied to news and its recipients. Proponents of the hegemony model include

Examiner, USA THE IMPACT OF THE COMPACT 1 The big buzz about small formats E VERYTHING MAKES A COMEBACK. There is an eternal renaissance of essential things. In journalism, design, literature and art. Things tend to simplify themselves. As life in big cities turns more chaotic, technology becomes more accessible with wireless, fast communication available to larger mass- es of the population. For the printed media, this translates into smaller formats, more reader-friendly for users who seek simpler storytelling, quicker messages, and who seem to prefer, as in everything else, the smaller packages. In the case of newspapers, we have had to wait a long time and climb a steep mountain to get to this exciting moment in which more newspapers are look- ing at smaller formats as an option. For many, it is already a reality. Conversion from broadsheet to tabloid has paid off: Readers like it, advertisers get used to it faster than anyone thought, and the “wave” of tabloid conversions extends globally. Even the United States is taking a peek into what some of their news- papers will look like in a format other than the huge broadsheet that has served as the canvas for decades.

    Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy Discussion Paper Series Leading the Way to Better News: The Role of Leadership in a World Where Most of the “Powers That Be” Became the “Powers That Were” By Geoffrey Cowan Shorenstein Center Fellow, Fall 2007 University Professor and Annenberg Family Chair in Communication Leadership, University of Southern California February 15, 2008 #D-44 © 2008 President and Fellows of Harvard College. All rights reserved. Abstract During the past several years, as traditional news operations have faced sharp declines in circulation, advertising, viewership, and audiences, and as they have begun to make a seemingly unrelenting series of cuts in the newsroom budgets, scholars and professionals have been seeking formulas or models designed to reverse the trend. During those same years, many of the major news organizations that dominated the landscape a generation ago, those that David Halberstam called “The Powers That Be,” have lost their leadership role and been absorbed by other companies. This paper argues that while there is good reason to worry about the decline in what might be called “boots-on-the-ground” journalism, there are reasons to be hopeful. While most of those concerned with the topic have urged structural changes in ownership, this paper argues that the key is leadership. To understand the demands on leaders, it is essential to understand which of three motives is most important to the publication’s owners: profits, influence, or personal prestige. Each motive presents distinct challenges and opportunities. Looking at the fate of a number of large media organizations over the past decade, the paper argues that the most important model for success is outstanding leadership that combines a talent for business, entrepreneurship and innovation with a profound commitment to great journalism.

That is nothing new, but partisan maneuvering in the Senate, which has the power to confirm or reject Supreme Court and lower federal court nominees put forward by the president, went to new extremes dur- ing the last year of the Obama administration and the opening months of the Trumpcopy, administration. The lengths to which the Republican-controlled Senate went to block the confirmation of Obama’s judicial nominees gave Trump the opportunity to appoint a backlog of judges when he took office. The most visible, and arguably the most audacious, obstruction came at the Supreme Court level when Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the Court’s notmost reliably conservative voters, died unexpectedly on February 13, 2016. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) almost immediately declared that the Republican-controlled Senate would not even consider any nominee put forward by President Obama.
