Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Raine would need to consider if the special college sports edition is representative of the local news coverage as a whole. If it only focuses on one aspect of sports (college), it may not accurately represent the full range of sports coverage in the local news. Criteria such as authenticity, credibility, and meaning may also be important, but representativeness is the most relevant for assessing the inclusion of this specific edition.
