This study explores journalists' discourse on the craft of news writing in order to answer the question: How is journalistic authority performed in the craft of news writing? Journalistic authority is a cultural construct through which journalists attend to their own legitimacy, credibility, moral purpose and ability to serve the public interest. As a cultural construction, journalistic authority has five traits: It is epistemic; it is anchored in professional standards; it is expressed through the conventions of writing; it is safeguarded through journalists' discourse; and it is dependent on shared understandings with audiences. Information and story have been a point where journalists have defined their authority as they negotiated five tensions: the techniques of reporting; fact vs. scene; formal attribution vs. the writer's voice; and the connections of literary technique to questions of truth and falsehood. From the mid-1930s to 2003, this study identified 434 articles in the journalistic trade press about writing. This discourse suggests that as journalists articulated qualities of good writing---and authority---they did so amid competing impulses: efficiency and aesthetics. Efficiency valued plain language, concise sentences and the inverted pyramid; it's strongest expression appeared in the readability movement of the early 1950s. Aesthetics emphasized experience through the use of narrative. Aesthetic grew in prominence with the coaching movement in the late 1970s. While efficiency emphasized the distinction between story and information, aesthetics defused the points of tension by wrapping narrative technique in the traditional values of journalism, allowing journalists to redefine the terms of authority. Efficiency and aesthetics were tied closely to power arrangements in newsrooms, and their expressions in readability and coaching shaped journalists' links with editors and readers.
