Journalism audience orientation market-driven news routines knowing your audience ethnic religious news coverage pope Pope John Paul II (born 1920) was not only a major figure in the worldwide Catholic community, but he also held a special place with his fellow Poles and with the Hispanic-American community for his outreach to Latin America. Therefore, the pope’s April 2005 death provided a unique opportunity to study how the demographic makeup of an audience affected local news content. Gatekeepers’ perceptions of their audience are one of many influences on news routines and content selection; furthermore, market demands can also influence newspapers to cater content to their audience. This study measured the content of 12 American newspapers in cities of varying Catholic, Polish-American, and Hispanic-American makeup in the week following Pope John Paul II’s death. By comparing the demographics of these 12 cities with the content in their corresponding newspapers, this study attempted to provide further insight into the audience’s influence on news content. 2010-07-20 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1275439304 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1275439304 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
