Expert answer

 

Gatekeeping is the process through which news editors and reporters decide what stories to cover and how to present them. The gatekeeping model suggests that there are a limited number of ways to cover a story and that these ways are determined by factors such as the resources available, the audience's needs, and the editor's or reporter's own biases.

 

The gatekeeping model has been critiqued for its lack of attention to the role of power in shaping what stories are covered and how they are presented. In particular, critics have argued that the gatekeeping model fails to take into account the ways in which those in positions of power can manipulate the news coverage to their own benefit.
