Podcast interview with Pamela Shoemaker, author of Gatekeeping Theory
In her new book Gatekeeping Theory Pamela Shoemaker explains the journalistic gatekeeping process that ultimately decides what news runs and what doesn’t. Shoemaker shows how the process has, and has not, evolved since the first gatekeeping study in 1950. Shoemaker is the John Ben Snow Professor at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Shoemaker co-authored the book with Tim Vos, an assistant professor of Journalism Studies at the University of Missouri.
