Process, policy and prejudice : a survey of editorial policies on sentencing-related news / Erika Rosenfeld. : J23-3/13-1988E-PDF

"The purpose of this report was to survey the reporting and editorial policies of select southern Ontario media with regard to the news, feature, and editorial coverage of sentencing-related issues. It is based on interviews with reporters and editors, conducted in February and March, 1986. Its purpose is to give an understanding of newsmaker's work methods and priorities, as well as their attitudes towards sentencing, in order to shed some light on how the final product - media accounts of criminal cases with an emphasis on sentencing-evolves. Is the news account a carefully-orchestrated piece of work built on the time-honoured rules of the trade and the discernible policies of each individual newspaper/radio station/television network? Or is it an accident, the random product of countless ad hoc decisions, each affecting the next-decisions rendered moments before each deadline, working together inexorably toward the six o'clock news?"--Introduction, p. 1.
