Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine, using a coorientational approach, what content and form variables were important to viewers, and how accurately they were predicted by practicing broadcast journalists in a given community. The coorientational measurements of congruency, agreement, and accuracy were used to assess the relative importance of these local television news variables for both groups.
