Content diversity, a journalistic tenet that addresses the concept of the marketplace of ideas, is a fundamental dimension of news diversity. This content analysis of newspaper articles measures the difference between diversity of ideas (content) and diversity of sources, two constructs that others have assumed are highly correlated. The findings indicate that the difference is substantial. Although content diversity may sometimes accompany source diversity, it is fallacious to assume that one ensures the other.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
