520 |a The role of the diocesan newspapers of the Catholic Church has been ill-defined in recent years owing to institutional changes and the increased professionalization of its editors. At issue is whether this press is of the autonomous, adversarial model or the institutional, public relations model. While the institution has affirmed the right to information and freedom of journalists, it simultaneously views its own press from an institutional perspective. Editors in this press, however, seem to reject the full implications of an institutional model and seek an adversarial model. A survey of editors and their bishop-publishers establishes their rankings of possible press roles and their attitudes toward each. Bishop-editor relationships were examined for indications of socialization pressures. Editors and bishops agree on the three major roles for this press, but rank them in opposite order. Further, not all attitudes toward press roles are congruent. Bishop-editor relationships do not lend themselves to socialization. Editors seem to develop a unique balance of adversarial and institutional norms, but a precarious one, putting a primacy on the news function. Bishops emphasize the institutional communication and religious education roles. The stress created by a pull from institutional communication demands and those of a semi-autonomous watchdog seems deeply rooted and difficult to reconcile.
