Analysis of sources named in six months' coverage of the Exxon Valdez oil spill by the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and Anchorage Daily News suggests that the majority of sources who were named by more than one news organization represented powerful institutional elites. Sources representing three of those elites perceived the story in substantially different ways, and indicated substantially different levels of satisfaction with how it was reported. However, the degree to which various groups of sources were satisfied with how the spill was reported was not a function of their degree of media access.

ANCHORAGE, April 20—Sea otters rescued from waters fouled by the Exxon Valdez oil spill fared poorly after their return to the wild last fall, and scientists working under Government contract say at least half may have perished over the winter. Nearly 900 dead otters were found after the tanker spilled almost 11 million gallons of crude oil in March 1989. An additional 360 were netted alive and brought to rehabilitation centers at Valdez, Seward, Homer and Kodiak. About 200 were later returned to Prince William Sound but some scientists say that as many as half may have perished and that the rehabilitation effort has been largely futile... The withholding of scientific information on the spill for legal reasons by all the parties is becoming a major source of controversy as research projects begin to generate at least preliminary data.
