When a case containing dismembered human remains surfaced in New York’s East River in June of 1897, the publisher of the "New York Journal" - a young, devil-may-care millionaire named William Randolph Hearst - decided that his newspaper would "scoop" the city’s police department by solving this heinous crime. Pulling out all the stops, Hearst launched more than a journalistic murder investigation; his newspaper’s active intervention in the city’s daily life, especially its underside, marked the birth of the Yellow Press.

This increasingly incestuous connection between the practitioners of public relations and journalism has resulted in a troubling shift in power.

A democracy works when individuals have access to reliable inf

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.
