Linear presentation has necessary effects on questions of priority
between news items. The mosaic newspaper page has its own techniques of
catching attention and indicating relative importance, but these are to
a certain extent subject to the reader’s capacity to find own way
through. The broadcast news bulletin thus tends to retain more
apparent editorial control of priority and attention.
It is impossible to estimate the effects of this without looking
at what had happened to priorities in different kinds of newspaper.
In Britain, for example, a comparison of lead stories… showed marked
variations of priorities in different kinds of paper. A further
comparison with broadcast bulletins showed that broadcasting
priorities were, on the whole, those of minority press. In the United
States the press situation is different, but the general point still
holds. The world-view indicated by the selection and relative priority
of news items is very similar as between broadcast bulletins and
those minority newspapers which are written by and for the relatively
highly educated. The distribution of interests in the more popular
press, which supposedly follows the interests of its characteristic
readers, is hardly to be found anywhere in the broadcast news,
although very similar definitions of what is popular and interesting
tend to predominate in the non-news programming.
