For ten years, Herbert J. Gans spent considerable time in four
major television and magazine newsrooms, observing and talking to
the journalists who choose the national news stories that inform
America about itself. Writing during the golden age of journalism,
Gans included such headline events as the War on Poverty, the
Vietnam War and the protests against it, urban ghetto disorders,
the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F.
Kennedy, and Watergate. He was interested in the values,
professional standards, and the external pressures that shaped
journalists' judgments.
Deciding What's News has become a classic. A new preface outlines
the major changes that have taken place in the news media since
Gans first wrote the book, but it also suggests that the basics of
news judgment and the structures of news organizations have changed
little. Gans's book is still the most comprehensive sociological
account of some of the country's most prominent national news
media. The book received the 1979 Theatre Library Association Award
and the 1980 Book Award of the National Association of Educational
Broadcasters. This is the first work to be published under the
Medill School of Journalism's "Visions of the American Press"
imprint, a new journalism history series featuring both original
volumes and reprints of important classics.
