Critical reception[]
Critical reception for Source Journalism and News Values has been mainly neutral, despite the low number of sales. It seems that the book is doing rather well in journalism colleges, where students can learn a lot from it.
A third-party review from Publishers Weekly says that while the main story is saturated with historical events that happened in the 20th century, the main focus should have been put the present events. Maybe this way the general public would have been more interested in this small, but great book from the critique genre.
The author's point was to explain how today's news mixed with Facebook and Google create a warped reality. He gives a few reliable news sources as an example and how are they stacking up these days in the US.
