The Organizational Structure of Newspapers in Relation to Their Metropolitan Environments.

September 1978, volume 23 Data for 72 major metropolitan newspapers are analyzed relating structural differentiation of news organizations to their metropolitan environments. Two measures of differentiation, the distribution of staff and functional divisions within staff, correlate with indicators representing task dimensions of the environment the sources of news and fiscal support, audience market structure, and degree of competition within metropolitan communities although there are slight differences in the pattern of correlates. Data also indicate that when competition is absent, the relationship between newspapers and consumer markets becomes attenuated.
