Abstract
News reporting in three markets was studied to explore consonance in local television news. As more local television stations cover national news, the concept of consonance has assumed increased importance for broadcast news consumers. Consonance theory suggests that similar media messages transmitted across different media channels may influence public opinion and promote consensus. This study found consonance to be extensive in local television newscasts in three midwest cities.Keywords
