Comparison of Story Selection by Radio News Directors and a Sample Audience along Four News Dimensions
Abstract
This study was spawned by the 1976 masters thesis of Naiim Badii at Oklahoma State University. Badii used a four-dimensional news model to investigate story selection by newspaper editors in Oklahoma. This study modified Badii's model slightly, but retained the dimension of reward to test Wilbur Schramm's theory of immediate and delayed reward in story interest and Hugh Culbertson's theory of coorientation among news directors at radio stations.
