Summary
Fixers bridge the gap between reporters and sources with a range of matchmaking, coaching, and transcoding tools. Their capacity and freedom to unify reporters and sources and control information and story frames are constrained, however, by those brokered parties’ perceptions of them, the presence of alternative pathways of communication that circumvent them, the limits of their expertise and social capital, and the magnitude of conflict between parties.
