  • XREF: Connects to media-sociology work on organizational rather than geographic determinants of news content, e.g. gatekeeping and newsroom-level studies.
  • QUESTION: If state and county effects vanish, what is it about individual newsrooms that drives framing differences? Worth chasing with an outlet-level analysis.
