- Summary
- "Building on his 1979 classic, Deciding What's News, Herbert Gans shows how the role of the contemporary journalist has shrunk. Increased profit-seeking by news firms and media conglomerates have resulted in the downsizing of journalists, while an apparent shrinkage of audience interest in the news has led to a declining news audience. Gans argues that the news media also suffers from assembly-line modes of production and other ills, with one major product being excessive publicity for the president and other public officials, the very people citizens most distrust. In such an environment, investigative journalism and critical news analysis - which citizens could use to make intelligent choices on issues that concern them - cannot flourish. But Gans makes several incisive suggestions about what the news media can do to enable citizens to better understand today's America, and what political and economic changes might move us closer to a true citizens' democracy."--Jacket
