Civic Journalism and Nonelite Sourcing: Making Routine Newswork of Community Connectedness.
Massey, Brian L.
Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly, v75 n2 p394-407 Sum 1998
Compares the number of "average" citizens brought into the news in three newspapers. Finds nonelite information sources in numerical parity with elite sources in a civic-journalism newspaper, but finds the frequency and directness of their news voices largely unchanged. Finds that routine civic journalism did more to tone down elites' news-voice profile than to raise nonelites' volume. (SR)
