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
