What are the implications of such a delivery system for coverage of local issues and the Jeffersonian ideal of an informed citizenry? This study employs a content analysis of outsourced and local newscasts, using a data set of more than 1,000 stories from more than 30 hours of newscasts to determine if differences exist on story topics and source types.

  • Sinclair to Increase Local News Programming; Announces Corporate News Director BALTIMORE, Oct
    Sinclair to Increase Local News Programming; Announces Corporate News Director BALTIMORE, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI) announced Friday that it will be increasing local news programming at many of its television stations. The news expansion is made possible using a revolutionary news model built upon a central support operation focused on simplifying national news coverage and a local news network to coordinate local news operations. The result is high quality news delivered more efficiently. "Local news is an integral part of establishing television stations in their local communities," commented David Smith, President and CEO of Sinclair. "However, the cost associated with producing a quality newscast can be prohibitive in many markets. We developed a model, using current technology, that reduces or eliminates repetitive efforts and resources that can be produced from a centralized location." "Without those costs to bear, the local station can focus on creating a cost effective, tailored news department that can focus exclusively on local news that affects their community. With lower per station costs, even the smaller markets are able to support a profitable yet high quality newscast." Sinclair will launch its first newscast utilizing its news central and local news network model at WSMH-TV (FOX 66) in Flint, Michigan. The station will premiere the market's first 10 o'clock news program on October 28, 2002. In a separate announcement, David Smith announced the promotion of Joe DeFeo to Corporate News Director. In this capacity, Mr. DeFeo will build a corporate news structure to manage the news resources of the company and develop ways to add more news in Sinclair markets.
