Overview"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."

It tells us that our colleagues who set much of the nation's agenda have solid, bourgeois, mildly reformist views, respect authority, want to be liked and probably see the unfamiliar as vaguely threatening. The result is that tomorrow's news is going to look very much like today' s, even if the world does not. <br>- Frank Mankiewicz, New York Times Book Review <br> Gans does a hell of a job in demolishing the myths of an anti-establishment press. <br>-Richard Reeves, The Washington Monthly <br> Author InformationHerbert J.
