چکیده
This research examined media depiction of homicide in a large metropolitan area from the market-driven journalism perspective (McManus, 1994). From this perspective, news organization decisions are based on journalist and news editor perceptions of what type of stories resonate with the general public. Accordingly, the news production process becomes characterized as an exercise in market strategy rather than a presentation of an accurate summary of local, national, and world events. We examined effects of victim, offender, and situational characteristics of homicides investigated by the Houston Police Department on a variety of media outcome measures for homicide stories appearing in the Houston Chronicle. The findings suggested that situational aspects of the homicide were the most important measures in predicting media outcomes.
