News factors can be conceptualized as general relevance indicators guiding the attention of all humans. However, that doesn’t mean that they are the only  factors influencing selection processes or that all news factors have the same importance across different actor types. Within the concept of news factors it is  still unclear to what degree those news factors also apply to the communication outside of traditional mass media. We therefore ask whether and how actors  with varying degrees of professionalization employ news factors in their communication differently. To answer our research question, we conducted a quantitative  content analysis and compared the coverage in traditional newspapers with the communication of civil society actors with varying degrees of professionalization.  We analyzed the relevance of news factors within the presentation of a specific issue, namely climate change in Germany. Our results show that news factors are –  at least partly – also applied by non-journalist actors. The mass media and the more professionalized civil society actors do not apply news factors more  strongly to their communication than do non-professionalized civil society actors. Instead, we find that different actors focus on different news factors.
