Abstract: Steele analyzes the way in which TV news organizations selected and used unofficial sources in covering the 1992-93 controversy over gays and military service. Using the Vanderbilt Television News Index and Abstracts, transcripts and tapes of news programs, she examined all of the 155 TV news stories devoted to the controversy.
