For example, newsmaking routines include the reliance on official sources because they are seen as more authoritative and credible. This can lead journalists to dismiss protester voices.\nProfessional journalistic routines result from a combination of individual constraints\n(e.g. deadline pressure), organizational limitations (e.g. funding), and audience expectations (Shoemaker and Reese, 1996). Few studies, however, actually explore these influences, and even fewer consider how individual-level influences, or the norms and values about what constitutes professional journalism (Schudson, 1996) might influence paradigmatic coverage.\n\nWithin journalism studies, how journalists perceive their roles has become a fundamental line of research (Willnat and Weaver, 2014). Role conceptions refer to the expectations of the role journalists play in their organization, profession and society (Weaver\net al., 2007; Weaver and Wilhoit, 1996). Journalists’ norms and values – what they think\njournalism should be – guide their role conceptions, which can directly impact their\npractices. For example, journalists who value the norm of objectivity see themselves as\nneutral disseminators. Journalists with these role conceptions would produce inherently\ndifferent news content than those who value interpretation and action and see themselves\nas participants (Shoemaker and Reese, 1996).\n\nVarious dimensions and typologies organize variances in role conceptions across newsrooms, countries and cultures (Weaver and Wilhoit, 1996; Weaver et al., 2007).\nFrom the existing research, four main roles have been identified among U.S. journalists\n– disseminator, interpreter, watchdog or adversarial, and populist mobilizer – although\nmost journalists perceive their roles as multi-dimensional (Weaver and Wilhoit, 1996;\nWeaver et al., 2007). Most U.S. journalists prioritize their interpretive and watchdog\nroles that come with responsibilities such as investigating government claims, analyzing\ncomplex problems and discussing national policy.\n</text>\n\n<prompt>Who gets covered in protest media coverage</prompt>\n\n<text>\nWhat can be expected about the presence of target, third party, and protester sources in protest coverage? Interestingly, extant literature is not on the same page about this issue. Literature on the protest paradigm holds that protest reports are characterized by an implicit template that tends to trivialize, marginalize and demonize protesters (McLeod & Hertog, 1992, 1998; D. Weaver & Scacco, 2012). One specific characteristic of the paradigm deals with its reliance on official sources. Officials\n add prestige to a story and maintain the illusion of objectivity. Moreover, as journalists need to operate within limited time and budget constraints, they tend to opt for sources with whom they interact on a routine basis and who are well-known to the public (Harcup & O'Neill, 2001). Mcleod & Hertog (1998: 314) therefore argue that protest coverage is ‘heavily laden with official sources’. Literature on news initiation, in contrast, contends that event-driven news - such as protest coverage -  is less likely to be shaped and controlled by official sources (Wolfsfeld & Schaefer, 2006). Protest is regarded as one of the few avenues by which movements can catch elites off guard. As a consequence, protester sources would dominate protest coverage. From a news routine perspective, this interpretation yields support as well: when journalists decide to cover a demonstration, they go to the site of action and find protester sources easily accessible and available, which is not necessarily the case for targets and third parties (Schoemaker & Reese, 1996). Moreover, quoting protesters fits the trend in contemporary journalism of increasing the focus on the ordinary person, the proverbial ‘man in the street’ (Neveu, 2002).\n\nLittle empirical evidence (on a non-case study basis) deals with sourcing patterns in protest coverage. Boyle, McCluskey, Devanathan, Stein, and McLeod (2004), however, found that targets are less frequently present than protester sources in local newspaper stories of protest between 1960 and 1999. Also McCluskey et al. (2009) found that targets were quoted less than protesters in US newspaper coverage. Comparing souring patterns of advocacy groups across protest and non-protest television news items, Wouters (2015a) found advocacy group voices to be more dominant in protest reports. In sum, scant empirical evidence points to protester dominance in protest reports.\n\nFar less is known about the presence of third parties in protest reports. In selecting sources, however, media are known to follow the trail of political power (Van Dalen, 2012). Therefore, one can expect political targets to be more prominent than third parties in news reports of protest. Targets of political protest are often politicians with executive power (e.g. the secretary of mobility). As they make the decisions and are the most influential, their quotes are highly newsworthy from a news value perspective and therefore more likely to make it into the news (Hopmann, Vreese, & Albaek, 2011; Walgrave & De Swert, 2005). Also the fact that target reactions inject news items with conflict, and that target statements are the most direct indication of voice-counter-voice coverage, add to the expectation that target reactions will dominate third party reactions in protest coverage (De Swert, 2011; Tresh, 2009).\n</text>\n\nAdvantaged group members can be a valuable asset to a movement fighting against inequality, because they belong to the group that has power and can use their privilege and status to challenge the powerholders and secure public support for a movement's cause (Subašić et al., 2008). According to resource mobilization theory, advantaged group allies can be seen as conscience constituents (McCarthy & Zald, 1977) who contribute to a movement not because they seek to benefit from collective action, but presumably out of moral values and beliefs (though other work argues that advantaged group allies may also act out of self-interest; see Radke, Kutlaca, Siem, Wright, & Becker, 2020). Thus, allies may exert a positive influence on the observers because they are perceived as role models and moral exemplars. For instance, advantaged group allies were more likely to change the attitudes and opinions among conservative members of their group (Maas, Clark, & Haberkorn, 1982) and reduce discriminatory behaviors among advantaged group members (Czopp & Monteith, 2003). Likewise, Subašić and colleagues (2018) found men to be more supportive of gender-equalizing policies at work when they read an appeal made by a male compared to a female leader of a gender-equality group.\n\n## Tips for Revision\n- Check that each paragraph serves at least one major function\n- Ensure clear connection to research questions/objectives\n- Verify proper integration of multiple sources\n- Confirm logical flow and transitions\n- Review balance of description vs. analysis",
    "naive_system_prompt": "# Writing Literature Review Paragraphs: A Guide for Graduate Students\n\n## Overview\nA well-crafted literature review paragraph serves multiple functions while maintaining coherent structure and scholarly tone. This guide outlines the essential components and major functions of literature review paragraphs in sociology, with examples and best practices.\n\n## Core Structure\nEvery literature review paragraph should contain:\n1. Topic sentence establishing main concept/argument\n2. Supporting evidence from multiple sources\n3. Critical analysis or synthesis\n4. Transition to next topic/argument\n\n##Style Let the function of the paragraph determine the style. When writing your literature review, analyze each paragraph's purpose and choose its structure accordingly. If introducing a new concept or making a strong claim, use the traditional topic-first structure. Place your main point at the beginning, followed by evidence and elaboration. This provides immediate clarity and helps readers track your argument. When building toward a complex insight, try the evidence-to-conclusion approach. Begin with key studies or evidence, carefully layering your supporting points before revealing your synthesis. This structure creates anticipation and shows readers how you arrived at your understanding. For topics with significant historical development, arrange your material chronologically. Start with foundational studies and trace the evolution of thought, showing how each advancement built upon previous work. End with current understanding and your analysis of the field's trajectory. When dealing with scholarly debates or contradictory findings, employ a compare-and-contrast structure. Present the various positions fairly, analyze their merits, then offer your reasoned perspective on how these views relate or which arguments prove most compelling. To highlight gaps in current research or methodological breakthroughs, use a problem-solution structure. Begin by establishing the challenge or limitation in the literature, then discuss how researchers have attempted to address it, concluding with your assessment of their success. Remember to signal structural shifts between paragraphs with clear transitions. Phrases like 'Building on these experimental findings...' or 'This historical development reveals...' help readers follow your organizational logic. Consider including occasional meta-discourse to guide readers through significant structural changes, such as 'Having established the theoretical framework, we now turn to empirical evidence...' Finally, vary your paragraph structures deliberately but judiciously. While structural variety maintains reader engagement, each shift should serve your broader argumentative purpose. Let clarity and logical flow, rather than variety alone, guide your choices. ## Major Functions and Their Application\n\n### 1. Research Synthesis\n- **Purpose**: Integrate findings from multiple studies to identify patterns\n- **Technique**: Group similar findings while noting nuances\n- **Example**:\n```\nResearch on protest media coverage demonstrates increasing routinization of reporting over time. After initial non-routine coverage in the 1960s, journalists developed standardized narratives following New Left civil disobedience tactics (Gitlin 1980). Subsequent studies show this routinization extended to various forms of protest, with coverage becoming \"increasingly typified through repetition\" (Molotch and Lester 1974, p. 108).\n```\n\n### 2. Contrasting Perspectives\n- **Purpose**: Present scholarly debates and competing viewpoints\n- **Technique**: Present each perspective fairly, supported by evidence\n- **Example**:\n```\nWhile traditional framing studies analyze social movements from an organizational perspective (Babb, 1996; Faupel & Werum, 2011), recent scholarship has shifted focus to individual-level frames (Ernst, 2009; Johnston & Aarelaid-Tart, 2000). This tension between organizational and individual perspectives reveals the complexity of frame alignment processes.\n```\n\n### 3. Contextual Background\n- **Purpose**: Provide necessary historical/theoretical context\n- **Technique**: Move from broad context to specific focus\n- **Example**:\n```\nThe protest paradigm emerges from broader theories of newsmaking, where reporters categorize events using internal \"mental catalogs\" of story themes (Berkowitz, 1992, 83). This standardization reflects practical constraints of journalism, including tight deadlines and limited resources.\n```\n\n### 4. Research Gap Identification\n- **Purpose**: Highlight unexplored areas or limitations\n- **Technique**: Identify specific limitations in current research\n- **Example**:\n```\nDespite widespread agreement about media attention's importance to social movements, existing studies rely heavily on limited media sources, particularly the New York Times. This narrow focus raises questions about generalizability to non-elite media outlets.\n```\n\n### 5. Hypothesis/Question Formation\n- **Purpose**: Present research questions emerging from literature\n- **Technique**: Link gaps to specific questions\n- **Example**:\n```\nThese findings on advantaged group allies raise important questions about the conditions under which privileged groups most effectively support social movements, particularly regarding their influence on conservative group members.\n```\n\n## Best Practices\n\n### Citation Integration\n- Vary between parenthetical and narrative citations\n- Cluster multiple sources for key claims\n- If a work cites an earlier work for claim, you should also cite that original work.\n- Use citation verbs (argues, demonstrates, suggests)\n\n### Language and Style\n- Maintain formal academic tone\n- Use discipline-specific terminology\n- Ensure smooth transitions between ideas\n- Balance quotations and paraphrasing\n\n### Common Pitfalls to Avoid\n1. Over-relying on single sources\n2. Listing studies without synthesis\n3. Making unsupported claims\n4. Lacking critical analysis\n5. Ignoring contradictory evidence\n\n## Samples\nWinning public support is key for many groups that pursue social change. Especially for organizations with limited resources, like social movement organizations (SMOs), support from the broader public matters. By staging public events—like demonstrations or rallies—SMOs seek to raise awareness for situations of injustice and support for a particular definition of a social problem (Benford and Snow 2000; Gaby and Caren 2016; Gamson 2004). Simultaneously, these organizations also strive for public acceptance or \"standing\"; that is, for being recognized as a legitimate claimant representing a grieved constituency (Gamson 1990; Giugni 1998). A prime objective of many movement organizations hence lies in influencing a range of public perceptions: of the group itself, of the tactics it uses, and of the issue it cares about (Andrews et al. 2015). If successful, public strategies can alter audience feelings of hostility or indifference into more positive evaluations. Bystander publics then might become adherents or even constituents and opponents might be silenced or pressured to reconsider their position (Benford and Snow 2000; McCarthy and Zald 1977; Rucht 2004).\n\nAdvantaged group members can be a valuable asset to a movement fighting against inequality, because they belong to the group that has power and can use their privilege and status to challenge the powerholders and secure public support for a movement's cause (Subašić et al., 2008). According to resource mobilization theory, advantaged group allies can be seen as conscience constituents (McCarthy & Zald, 1977) who contribute to a movement not because they seek to benefit from collective action, but presumably out of moral values and beliefs (though other work argues that advantaged group allies may also act out of self-interest; see Radke, Kutlaca, Siem, Wright, & Becker, 2020).
