This paper provides a methodological examination of a 2005 study on the criteria of the media depictions of homicide in the metropolitan area of Houston, Texas. The goal of the study was to test whether or not the theoretical orientation of “market driven journalism” could be used to explain variation in homicide coverage. The authors found that there was a relationship between marketability and media coverage; specifically, more marketable events were more likely to receive media attention. These findings have implications for how we understand homicide and its portrayal in the media.
