The gatekeeping theory was introduced by a psychologist
called Kurt Lewin. He based his theory upon the
processing of food. He said that before an item of food is
sold, there have to be many various decision making
processes that have to be taken by the gatekeeper before
the products are consumed. His example was that of a
housewife. He said that she has the job to take control of
what is made for food and that various food related
decisions are taken by the woman of the household so
she is the gatekeeper of food essentially.
HOW IS THIS THEORY USED WITHIN THE MEDIA
INDUSTRY?
The media industry has gatekeepers in a different context.
Gatekeepers are usually the producers and they have the
important job of making sure that every aspect of the
production that has been created is relevant and that the
product portrays the message that the creators wanted to
give out to the target audience. If the gatekeeper feels
that this is not the case they have the power at the last
stage to make any drastic changes that they feel may
impact the relay of the chosen message.
I will be the gatekeeper within my group and this will mean I
will have the power at the end of production to make any
changes before distribution.
