From the Publisher IN HIS NEARLY thirty years at CBS News, Emmy Award- winner Bernard Goldberg earned a reputation as one of the preeminent reporters in the television news business. When he looked at his own industry, however, he saw that the media far too often ignored their primary mission: objective, disinterested reporting. Again and again he saw that they slanted the news to the left. For years Goldberg appealed to reporters, producers, and network executives for more balanced reporting, but no one listened. The liberal bias continued. Now, in Bias, he blows the whistle on the news business, showing exactly how the media slant their coverage while insisting that they're just reporting the facts. About the Author Bernard Goldberg is the winner of seven Emmy Awards, and was once rated by TV Guide as one of the ten most interesting people on television. Having served for nearly thirty years as a reporter and producer for CBS News, he now reports for the critically acclaimed HBO program Real Sports, hosted by Bryant Gumbel. He has written for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Goldberg lives with his family in Miami. Book Description Think the media are biased? CONSERVATIVES HAVE BEEN crying foul for years, but now a veteran CBS reporter has come forward to expose how liberal bias pervades the mainstream media. Even if you've suspected your nightly news is slanted to the left, it's far worse than you think. Breaking ranks and naming names, Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist Bernard Goldberg reveals a corporate news culture in which the close-mindedness is breathtaking, journalistic integrity has been pawned to liberal opinion, and "entertainment" trumps hard news every time. In his three decades at CBS, Goldberg repeatedly voiced his concerns to network executives about the often one-sided nature of the news coverage. But no one listened to his complaints-or if they did listen, they did nothing about the problem. Finally, Goldberg had no choice but to blow the whistle on his own industry, to break the code of silence that pervades the news business. Bias is the result. As the author reveals, "liberal bias" doesn't mean simply being hard on Republicans and easy on Democrats. Real media bias is the result of how those in the media see the world-and their bias directly affects how we all see the world. In Bias you'll learn: -How on issues ranging from homelessness to AIDS, reporters have simply regurgitated the propaganda of pressure groups they favor, to the detriment of honest reporting -The Peter Jennings test for classifying politicians-and how all the networks do it -The network color bar-why so many "victims" on network news stories are blond-haired, blue-eyed, and middle class -How one high-level CBS News executive told Goldberg that of course the networks tilt left-but in the next breath said he'd deny that statement if Goldberg ever went public -One of the biggest stories of our time-and why you probably didn't hear about it on the evening news -How political correctness in network newsrooms puts "sensitivity" ahead of facts -The real Dan Rather-a man who regards criticism of liberal bias as treason. If you ever suspected the network news was shortchanging the truth, Goldberg will not only prove you right, he'll give you a glimpse of just how it's done, and how fairness, balance, and integrity have disappeared from network television.

Usha Raman: WRITING FOR THE MEDIA, Oxford University Press

New Writing for the Media provides guidelines for writing news and features for newspapers and magazines, and writing for the Web. Readers are introduced to the dynamics of news production for print: from editorial decision making to reporting, editing, and layout. Broadly, the writing process is divided into four stages: conception, collection of information, construction of stories, and correction or editing. In addition, the various genres of newspaper/magazine writing are dealt with in detail: basic news stories, features of various kinds, profiles, investigative and research-based stories, and special interest stories. The approach in each of these cases is to study the 'anatomy' of a published story and follow it through from inception to publication, using first-hand reports from the writers. The book covers the basics of various areas of media such as reporting, editing, newspaper management, layout of stories, etc. in a comprehensive manner with Indian examples. With its practice-based approach and lucid style of presentation, the book would be equally useful for working media professionals. ISBN - 9780195699388

Lee: Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media, Lyle Stuart 1991

Paperback Fine 0818405619 From Publishers Weekly Associated with the media-watch group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), Lee ( Acid Dreams ) and Solomon ( Killing Our Own ) here document their assertion that the media have come to assume the role of spokespeople for the American business establishment, which allegedly runs the U.S. in general and Washington powerbrokers in particular--and whose press releases and other self-promoting testimonials often wend their way, verbatim, into newsprint. Citing the reluctance of newspapers and TV networks to present dissenting views on military spending, environmental pollution, economic policies that frustrate blacks and Hispanics, and American gunboat diplomacy in Latin America, they make a compelling case for the contention that newsmen and women distort current events. And though in the Reagan-Bush era, theirs is certainly a minority viewpoint, the authors remain convinced a change can be wrought. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal "The most sacred cow of the press is the press itself." In this book, Lee, publisher of Extra , the journal of the Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) organization, and Solomon, an investigative journalist, make mincemeat of that maxim and detail how often the press is biased. For example: many journalists just wade through their Rolodexes for sources; others make unobjective "we we" on the air ("When are we going to get Noriega?"); and stories on "unpopular" perspectives on race, gender, and politics often go unreported. While this book is most appropriate for serious media collections, all libraries would benefit from a book that advocates media activism, in which "one can learn to be a more critical consumer of the news."-- Judy Quinn, "Library Journal" Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
