Abstract

4.160 demands for information were posed to the news information service of a regional TV station in 1999. The average daily number of demands was 16,7, with a wide span along the different production periods of the year. No correlation was found between volume of production and number of requests. Most of demands fell in categories like Politics, Social Affairs, Law and Crime, Cinema, the Media, Music, Sports and Geography. Generic questions account for more than a half of demands, while specific data were demanded in 26,32 per cent of the questions. Celebrities focused one third of demands and 11,25 per cent referred to facts. Newsroom journalist were by large the most frequent users, followed by story writters for fictional, public service or entertainment productions. Level of specialized demands and user groups can justify the implementation of SDI facilities.
