“…As the research methodologies of several studies in our study sample were often ambiguously described, we experienced some difficulties to categorize these diversity dimensions in the exact meaning of the author's interpretation. This issue was especially true for studies which were concerned about the relationship between (content) diversity such as topic, geographic origin of the story and source-related dimensions such as market size, system source, story-or production source and ownership (e.g., Davie & Lee, 1993;Humanes, Sánchez, de Dios, & López-Berini, 2013;Shumow & Vigon, 2016). In order to select and review their relation with the concept of news diversity, we decided to take all these diversity dimensions into consideration and marked those diversity dimensions with a limited methodological description with an asterisk (see Appendix 4).…”

“…Appendix 4 shows how we categorized each dimension. Most remarkable is the concept of topic diversity for which six different labels have been used in literature: topic (Bae, 2000;Carpenter, 2010;Carroll et al, 1997;Humprecht & Buchel, 2013), frame (Voakes et al, 1996), issue (Day & Golan, 2005;Nord, 2013), theme (Abdulla, 2017;Humanes et al, 2013), subject (R. Rodgers et al, 2004;Ya-Ching, 2007), item (McCombs, 1987) and topical foci (Powers & Benson, 2014). Other examples in which the number of synonyms is higher than three (i.e., orange color in Figure 4) are party and story uniqueness.…”
