One thing I noticed in my research was a gap in theory. There wasn't a consistent explanation or theory within my topic of the effects of content and technical mistakes within journalism; no set theory or idea described why or how these issues formed, and most of my sources pointed to specific examples that were relevant to a small group. I wonder if this is due to the sheer number of complicating factors within the world of media and journalism, and it isn't accurate to nail down one specific issue and slap a name on it when there are so many complicating factors. This gap doesn't appear to be an issue, however, as drawing from each of these smaller, more niche examples and being aware of them is the first step to avoiding/combating them. I don't think filling this gap would benefit anyone for that same reason. Each media market has its own issues and problems, and filling that gap in one context might not fill it in another.
