- Authors
Atwater, Tony
- Abstract
This study reported findings of a comprehensive content analysis of network coverage of the TWA hijacking. The evidence suggested that consonance in network news coverage of the event extended beyond message content to the level of the news format. Consonance was observed in the networks' news production practices, use of news time, types of stories broadcast and sources televised.
