What is news? Why does news turn out like it does? Social Meanings of News takes on these deceptively simple questions through an essential collection of classic and contemporary studies by leaders in the field of mass communication. Rather than applying a journalists viewpoint to answer the questions, the book starts from the premise that news is a human construction shaped by the social world from which it emerges.
