Reporters who write for a major wire service are more likely to have an effect on public issues than do writers who write for only one newspaper. Since a story on a wire service will be run in many different papers across the world, these authors will be read by many more people. Therefore, their work is likely to reach more of the population that discusses and formulates public issues than that of reporters who work for one publication. It follows then that these pieces are of a much higher level of quality than stories written for publication in a single newspaper.
The conclusion in the argument above is dependent on which one of the following presuppositions?
Reporters who work for one paper do not care about public issues.
The general public can identify which stories come from a newswire and which stories were written for one publication.
The quality of a newspaper story can be measured by the number of people who read the story.
Stories that are not carried on a major wire service cannot have any effect on public issues.
Reporters who write for only one publication are not capable of reaching a broad audience.
