 n"Local U.S. television news provides citizens with crucial local informati
 on\, particularly during heightened political\, social\, or environmental s
 alience. Yet local television news is under increased pressure to consolida
 te\, which may serve to de-localize local news reporting by duplicating new
 s content delivery across local broadcast stations.\n\n \n\nThis report exa
 mines two fundamental questions. Stripped to their bare essentials\, they a
 re:\n\n1. Who controls what?\n\n2. Does that control affect news content?\n
 \n \n\nWe constructed three databases to address these questions. The datab
 ases span multiple characteristics of local broadcast stations and the actu
 al news content (i.e.\, transcript text) each station aired. Our content da
 tabase included the news broadcasts of 861 local stations in all 210 televi
 sion markets in the U.S. that presented news content over three months in t
 he fall of 2019. It is the largest such database in existence.\n\n \n\nWe c
 hose a period before the COVID pandemic so that a single overwhelming story
  would not affect coverage. We employed automated text reuse methods to mea
 sure how local broadcast station pairs duplicated (exact text reuse) each o
 ther’s news content. We applied a high threshold for duplication: to be con
 sidered duplication\, 50% of the broadcast news content (excluding sports\,
  weather\, and commercials) of a station pair had to be an exact match."
