Abstract:
Jim Willis examines the factors that contribute to the journalist's often faulty perception of reality, factors that are beyond the immediate control of the reporter. These include errant sources, competitive influences, the embedding process of storytelling, marketing's influence on the news, and the structure of news stories.
