What is Toward a theory of network gatekeeping: A framework for exploring information control about?

## Abstract Gatekeeping theories have been a popular heuristic for describing information control for years, but none have attained a full theoretical status in the context of networks. This article aims to propose a theory of __network gatekeeping__ comprised of two components: __identification__ and __salience__. __Network gatekeeping identification__ lays out vocabulary and naming foundations through the identification of gatekeepers, gatekeeping, and gatekeeping mechanisms. __Network gatekeeping salience__, which is built on the bases of the network identification theory, utilizes this infrastructure to understand relationships among gatekeepers and between gatekeepers and gated, the entity subjected to a gatekeeping process. Network gatekeeping salience1Salience refers to the degree to which gatekeepers give priority to competing gated claims. proposes identifying gated and their salience to gatekeepers by four attributes: (a) their __political power__ in relation to the gatekeeper, (b) their __information production ability__, (c) their __relationship__ with the gatekeeper, and (d) their __alternatives__ in the context of gatekeeping.
