story sourcing week 9

Chosen from 10 news stories published on NewNowNext.com, it's been shown that the sources for the stories are mostly non-elite, such as teachers, victims of bullying, and parents. Elite sources range from politicians, celebrities and LGBT organisations like GLAAD, which is considered an elite source due to the context of the website, and in other contexts wouldn't necessarily play an elite role.

Content Analysis week 8

From picking 8 stories in a range of different story categories, content analysis has shown that the authors of all stories were male, the majority of the stories subjects were male, and all quoted people were either male or transgender. For a website that focusses on "gay" news, it is mainly focussing in the male sense of the word, rather than the LGBT sense of it. There is almost no space for women on the website, neither is there for transgender people (although that seems to be slightly more present.)

news agencies

NewNowNext.com uses no news agencies as their backbone for the newsposts- probably because its niche is too specific for companies like Reuters
