From the author: The criterion that news be socially responsible at times conflicts with the criterion that the news be profitable. Working in groups, laypeople constructed a local newscast, choosing from 27 hypothetical but realistic news stories. Their negotiations reflected an implicit (and sometimes explicit) conflict between social responsibility and profitability as criteria for their decisions. Ultimately, the profitability criterion remained unquestioned, and participants' sense that the news should be socially responsible was conflicted and ambivalent.
