Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Scholars of political communication have long examined newsworthiness by focusing on the �gatekeepers,� or organizations involved in newsgathering (Lewin 1947, White 1950, Sigal 1973, Gans 1979). However, in recent years these gatekeeper organizations have increasingly been joined or even supplanted by �new media� competitors, including cable news, talk radio, and even amateur bloggers. The standards by which this new class of gatekeepers evaluates news are at best partially explained by prior studies focused on �professional� journalists. In this study, we seek to correct this oversight. We do so by content analyzing five online news sources � including wire service, cable news, and blog sites � in order to compare their gatekeeping decisions in the four months prior, and approximately three weeks immediately following, the 2006 midterm election. To determine each day�s major political news, we collected all stories from Reuters� and AP�s �Top Political News� sections. We then investigated whether a given story was also chosen to appear on each wire�s Top News page (indicating greater perceived newsworthiness than those that were not chosen) and compare the wires� editorial choices to those of more partisan blogs (from the left: DailyKos.com, and from the right: FreeRepublic.com) and cable outlets (FoxNews.com). We find evidence of greater partisan filtering on the latter three web sources, and relatively greater reliance on traditional newsworthiness criteria on the news wires.
