Increasing circulation? a comparative news‐flow study of the MontrealGazette's hard‐copy and on‐line editions

Abstract: International news-flow research has repeatedly identified significant imbalances in the global exchange of news among regions of the world. With the emergence of thousands of news sites on the World Wide Web, and the corresponding ability of news audiences to access these sites, the Internet offers the technological capacity to globalize media content. This paper seeks to test that possibility by exploring the way one Canadian daily newspaper, the Montreal Gazette, occupies the geography of the Internet with … Show more

“…Sports stories even outnumbered news stories filed from the United States. This finding is consistent with a 2001 pilot study of the Montreal Gazette 's website (see Gasher and Gabriele, 2004), and may suggest that sports is a topic particularly conducive to international news flows. None of the elite sports covered by the national newspapers is exclusive to Canada, and even if most of the sports leagues that warrant serious coverage *professional hockey, baseball, basketball, football * remain confined to Canada and the United States, many other major-league sports that Canadians follow *tennis, golf, auto racing, soccer *travel the globe.…”

“…The coding protocol is the product of our experience with a 2001 pilot study of the Montreal Gazette (see Gasher and Gabriele, 2004) and two months of pre-testing and trial inter-coder reliability tests during the Spring of 2003. For each story, the protocol required the coder to record the: publication name; date; headline; source agency (e.g., Reuters); international filing origin (the country the story was filed from); countries cited in the story; national filing origin (the Canadian province or territory the story was filed from); provinces and/or territories cited; word count; number of accompanying illustrations; and topic.…”

“…Lim studied four American online newspapers and revealed how similar their content was and how they seemed to prioritise different news stories in the same way (Lim 2010). Furthermore, studies from the US have considered the differences between local and national online and offline newspapers, concluding that the online newspapers had a much more local outlook than their printed counterparts (see Singer 2001;Gasher & Gabriele 2004).…”

“…For example, Gasher & Gabriele (2004) provided a useful analysis of the international news flow of The Montréal Gazette and its online editions, but they did not engage the broader Canadian context. Given our research questions and the lack of evidence available, we undertook a national study of Canadian news websites in 2001 that was intended to assess the functional status of the online news media one year after the mergers previously noted and determine the level of integration of new presentation formats and capabilities (such as cross-platforming content), as well as the level of use of Web technologies for novel news products, including the kinds of interactive services that were envisioned in the licence applications.…”

“…The impact of digital technologies on news reporting is an emerging area of concern in media studies, and a growing body of work has focused on how these technologies are affecting the work of news producers, the global flow of information, the nature of news content, and the availability and presentation of news, including the kinds of online news services available to users (see, for example, Gasher & Gabriele, 2004;Li, 1998;Massey & Levy, 1999). The latter issue in particular pertains to the questions we were interested in answering about the effects of corporate convergence in the Canadian news industry in 2000.…”
