Gatekeeping in the Digital Age
نویسنده
چکیده
Before the internet, the important news of the day was mainly decided by the print newspapers. This paper addresses whether this is still the case in the digital age by investigating the intermedia agenda-setting influence of print newspapers. We analyzed whether new stories covered on the front pages of newspapers were also covered in other news outlets, and if so who covered them first. This analysis, covering 15 news outlets in the Netherlands over 1.5 months in 2013, shows that front page coverage of stories could often not have been the cause for coverage in other news outlets. In addition, we contribute to intermedia agenda-setting research by addressing how the granularity of the measurement of agenda-items relates to causal explanations for effects. Manuscript under review. Authors: Welbers, K., van Atteveldt, W., Kleinnijenhuis, J., & Ruigrok, N.
