Looks closely at the relationship between news journalism & its sources. This relationship has two essential components: the reasons why journalists approach sources & how they choose between them; & the reasons why sources approach journalists or allow (or don't allow) themselves to be approached. Fundamental to this relationship is the question of the values that determine which events are selected as 'newsworthy' & which are neglected. The book yzes information flows in news reporting, based on the author's hypothesis that news is best understood as a sequence of events unfolding through time. A useful & colorful intro. to key issues of contemporary news reporting for students of media, communication & journalism.
