Abstract
With a history going back to at least the 1950s, long-term research in media production environments remains challenging. Much of the research on news production has come from a sociological direction that examines the process of production. By choosing this route, research has tended to focus on interactions among journalists at the small group and organizational levels. This vein of research mainly emphasizes the limitations and constraints on what might become the news product.
