That's rather different, actually. Also, there's a very strong feedback loop between readers and the paper, influencing each other's tastes & apetites, but even though they may be in denial about it, newspapers actually have the stronger hand in the loop, and do more to push it one way or the other, even when they honestly believe they're "just responding to what readers want". Also, some forces that seem to be "reader influenced" are more fundamental, and would be present with any readership.
Nevertheless, these are not the same as what I'm referring to.
One thing I learned while researching this is how hard it can be to see the whole field of the process & effects, especially for people who are in the middle of it themselves.
