These essays in the philosophy and sociology of journalism take the trusty five w and h's of journalism and attempt to show, one at a time, that they are not worthy of the too-easy trust journalists and readers put in them. The news is: 1) too dominated by whos, 2) too uncritical of whats, 3) too rushed by whens, 4) not concerned enough with wheres, and 5) superficial and overly conventional about whys and hows. The discussions by six journalists, press critics, and scholars are provocative and inventivealthough their standards seem more academic than journalistic. Still, this well-organized book is a natural for any thoughtful journalism curriculum, and it certainly succeeds in prodding all of us to begin reading more wisely. Dan Levinson, English & History Depts., Thayer Acad., Braintree, Mass.
