Before news organizations began putting their content online,
people got the news in print or on TV and almost always outside of
the workplace. But nowadays, most of us keep an eye on the
headlines from our desks at work, and we have become accustomed to
instant access to a growing supply of constantly updated stories on
the Web. This change in the amount of news available as well as how
we consume it has been coupled with an unexpected development in
editorial labor: rival news organizations can now keep tabs on the
competition and imitate them, resulting in a decrease in the
diversity of the news. Peeking inside the newsrooms where
journalists create stories and the work settings where the public
reads them, Pablo J. Boczkowski reveals why journalists contribute
to the growing similarity of news--even though they dislike it--and
why consumers acquiesce to a media system they find increasingly
dissatisfying.
Comparing and contrasting two newspapers in Buenos Aires with
similar developments in the United States, "News at Work" offers an
enlightening perspective on living in a world with more information
but less news.
