Abstract

This study compared 98 competitive newspapers with 100 monopoly newspapers to test the hypothesis that newspapers use more wire services when they are pressed by competition, controlling for circulation. The study also contrasted leading with trailing newspapers and found that competition did lead to use of more wire services. This study compares findings with those of earlier studies of competition and wire service use.
