Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The first volume of a research project conducted by Smith College political scientist Rothman and Columbia University researchers Robert and Linda Lichter, this is an outstanding study. It opens with a profile of today's "typical" media worker: an upper-middle-class, white, male college graduate earning 30,000-50,000 a year, whose parents are college graduates, perhaps professionals. It is notable that 68% come from Northeastern or north-central cities and have little sympathy for small-town America; few attend church or synagogue. The authors proceed to demonstrate that media people's regional and class prejudices determine their handling of the news: they are distinctly against nuclear energy (although many experts are not), strongly pro-busing (despite the compelling arguments against the practice) and furiously antibig oil. No one concerned with the media can afford to pass by this searching examination. Photos.

From Library Journal
A Smith College political science professor and two research associates from Columbia's Research Institute on International Change interviewed 240 journalists and gave them the Thematic Apperception Test. As one might expect, the TAT finds these journalistsfrom the New York Times , Wall Street Journal , and Washington Post , among othersto be urban, nonreligious, and liberal. They, not surprisingly, "subconsciously structure social reality" and search for and find "abuses of power." The bias and the selective perception of journalists found by the researchers are not new, nor is the authors' call, about which they offer few details, for journalists to "take responsibility."
