Abstract
This content analysis of 14 local television news operations in five markets looks at how local TV news shows contribute to the marketplace of ideas. Performance was measured as the allocation of stories to types of coverage that provide the context about events and issues confronting the public. Overall, just under a third of the stories dealt with a government entity, and commentaries accounted for only about 1% of all stories. Small-market stations provided less contextual information than did large-market stations, which in general provided more in-depth coverage.
