CHAPTER SIX 6 PROCESSES OF NEWS SELECTION AND GATEKEEPING AT NEWS AGENCIES The chapter reflects on the news agencies’ work in news production and selection and the likely issues, causes, and effects of and responses to a changing global media environment seen through the experiences of the participants. While previous chapters established the importance of various levels of news agencies and the exchange agreements among them in global news flow, this chapter addresses the following research question: are news agencies, particularly those serving print-based media such as newspapers, becoming redundant in a ‘globalizing’ world? It also addresses: “What is news?” and “Who decides what news should be selected?” The chapter further elaborates on the news exchange relationships among agencies and explains how agencies operate within a global news network. It explains the transforming news environment and investigates the resulting impact on the work of journalists at news agencies.
