Abstraksi:This study examines 4 online news sites to compare stories that journalists display most prominently with stories consumers read most frequently. We find that journalists’ chosen stories are ‘‘soft’’ with respect to subject matter but not story format, and that these choices diverge from consumers’ choices, resulting in a choice gap. The study design makes important methodological contributions by using the story as the unit of analysis, operationalizing ‘‘soft news’’ in terms of subject matter as well as format, and considering the influence of journalists’ and consumers’ choices on each other. This article discusses the implications of the findings on such issues as the dynamics of agenda setting, the prospects for consumer-authored content, and the watchdog function of the media.
