This report provides a review of literature exploring accuracy in newspaper stories. The findings discussed do not reveal definite reasons for inaccuracy, but several possible error sources are delineated: amount of reporter involvement, type of news, psychological factors (stress, news reporters' fantasies, open/closed-mindedness, tendency to evaluate others by whether they are "like" the reporters), the editorial process, writing style, imprecision of language, and time and competitive pressures. A summary of a research study on "sibling" newspapers--competing newspapers with the same owner--is also included. (AEA)
