Reviews:

• ...I recommend this book wholeheartedly for anyone interested in information organization, specifically for news media libraries, schools of library and information studies and communication and journalism libraries, and in media general. I'd also recommend this book for anyone interested in actually working in a news library. There are 656 pages to read, but I think well worth the effort.
  —RQ Spring 1994
• From the beginning historical outline by the editor to the discussions of legal and ethical issues and the image of the newspaper librarian (`the "Golden Retrievers" of the Newsroom') this collection provides much stimulating and useful information in a field which is not over-endowed with guidebooks and how-to manuals.
