News Values: Ideas for an Information Age Book

Fuller, the publisher of The Chicago Tribune, is one of the more thoughtful and accomplished media executives in America, a throwback to the days when publishers were more than bean-counters in expensive suits. Besides being a former reporter, editorial writer, and editor, he holds a law degree and has authored five novels. This wake-up call for the beleaguered media comes down to a simple but too-often unspoken creed: the trade of journalism, Fuller argues, "does not exempt [the media] from the basic moral imperatives that guide all other human relationships."Read More

  • Product Description

    News Values is a concise, powerful statement of the fundamental issues, ethical and practical, confronting newspapers today. Jack Fuller not only makes those issues clear, but offers a provocative new perspective on questions journalists should be asking themselves now in order to prepare for tomorrow.

    "Every talk show host should read this book. So should every newsroom cynic. . . . 'Pursuit of truth is not a license to be a jerk.' In all too many newsrooms, that statement would resound like a three-bell bulletin."--Martin F. Nolan, New York Times Book Review

    "[News Values] ought to be required reading not just for those who work for newspapers, but for all those who read and care about them. . . . [This book] seems destined to become one of those slim but important volumes people read for a long time to come."--Richard J. Tofel, Wall Street Journal

    "Fuller stays above the fray [of the many books on the media]: His is a deeply intellectual approach, one that provides serious context to the highly complicated issue of how the news 'works.'"--Duncan McDonald, Chicago Tribune Books

    "News Values has the touch and feel of knowledgeable, authentic caring about the kind of journalism than can help make society more cohesive, even human." --"Monitor's Pick," Christian Science Monitor
