长期以来，新闻学的研究一直包括仔细研究谁能成为新闻来源。由于他们对客观性范式的特权和对直接报道经验的不信任，记者转向外部来源为他们的报道提供证据。但这不仅仅是信息交换；新闻来源的模式赋予某些来源或群体权威和合法性，而忽视其他来源或群体。随着时间的推移，采购惯例强化了谁拥有社会权力的观念。这篇文章回顾了新闻源动态如何导致事物方式的某些表征的概念。有三种观点受到关注：将记者与消息来源的关系视为共生互利的关系，由为事件和问题设定文化定义的消息来源所主导，并以新闻获取和塑造新闻框架的能力不断竞争为标志。虽然关于新闻来源的工作在概念化定义权力与新闻之间的关系方面非常有成效，但不断变化的媒体环境需要重新关注记者与其消息来源之间的关系。
The study of journalism has long included a close examination of who gets to be a news source. With their privileging of the objectivity paradigm and distrust of direct reportorial experience, journalists turn to outside sources to provide evidence for their accounts. But this is not a mere exchange of information; patterns of news sourcing confer authority and legitimacy on certain sources or groups while ignoring others. Over time, sourcing routines reinforce notions of who possesses social power. This essay reviews conceptualizations of how journalist–source dynamics result in the production of certain representations of the way things are. Three perspectives receive attention: viewing the journalist–source relationship as symbiotic and mutually beneficial, as dominated by sources who set the cultural definition of events and problems, and as marked by incessant competition over news access and the ability to shape news frames. While the work on news sources has been extremely productive in conceptualizing the relationship between definitional power and journalism, the shifting media environment requires renewed attention to the relationship between journalists and their sources.
