false 331979 1 Amazon.com : 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. 322527 22 2 2005 Deciding What's News: A Study of CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, Newsweek, and Time total:8|5:2|4:3|3:3| 8 31 14 0 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 0 0 false Tue Jul 28 18:08:30 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 18:08:30 -0700 2009 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 4 0 false Tue Apr 14 04:28:11 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 14 04:28:11 -0700 2009 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 0 0 false Sat Mar 21 07:17:06 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 07:17:06 -0700 2009 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 0 0 false Wed Mar 18 08:48:46 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 08:48:46 -0700 2009 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 3 0 false Wed Jan 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 18:57:28 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 19:02:05 -0800 2009 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 0 0 false Thu Jan 15 07:17:29 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 07:17:29 -0800 2009 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 5 0 false Sun Dec 21 21:30:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 21:30:00 -0800 2008 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 0 0 false Tue Jul 15 08:11:39 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 08:11:41 -0700 2008 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 0 0 false Sun May 04 10:55:50 -0700 2008 Wed May 07 15:10:32 -0700 2008 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 3 0 false Sun Apr 27 11:13:35 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 27 11:13:39 -0700 2008 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 4 0 false Thu Feb 07 13:32:21 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 07 13:32:21 -0800 2008 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 4 0 false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Thu Oct 18 19:49:23 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 18 19:50:23 -0700 2007 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 5 0 false Thu Jul 12 14:43:45 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 12 14:43:45 -0700 2007 331979 0810122375 9780810122376 8 0 3.88 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/331979.Deciding_What_s_News_A_Study_of_CBS_Evening_News_NBC_Nightly_News_Newsweek_and_Time 3 0 false Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Thu May 03 04:37:23 -0700 2007 Fri May 11 00:39:39 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=331979
