Hi Mark and Barrett,
Katie and I compiled this list of media outlets and organizations that we tried to make as comprehensive as possible. I wanted to share it with you guys to use as a point of reference when we're adding media sources for blog entries. This list should hopefully show you which parent group you should set above the group you're creating.
For instance, if you needed to add the Sacramento Bee to our list of sources, you could search for the paper in this document and see that it should be grouped under McClatchy. Subsequently, McClatchy falls under "media companies," which falls under "the media."
I've highlighted all "media companies" in the document in red; their subsidiaries are listed below. At the bottom of the list, highlighted in pink, are media outlets that I found weren't really affiliated with any large media company or conglomerate. You can parent those media outlets under the group name above it that is bolded and highlighted in grey (for example, "the blogs").
If you're adding a news source that isn't listed on this document, just parent it under the umbrella group "the media" if you don't have time to look up which company it belongs to. I'll periodically check that group and try to put any random media outlets in their appropriate place.
If you see anything on this list that is wrong or needs to be put in a different group, please change it. Also, feel free to reorganize things if you can think of a better way. I was a unsure if there would be a more useful way to organize the groups under "media outlets," so it consists of lots of random groups right now. I highlighted the last two groups in yellow because I don't think they should be listed as media groups.
I think there are lots of media groups that are not currently grouped under any parent media group, so if you come across an already-existing media group that doesn't fall under "the media" umbrella group, please fix it!
Hopefully this will help us keep media organizations listed on the site searchable and connected to other groups they're affiliated with.
thanks,
Stephanie
