Description
Book SynopsisHave you ever wondered how organizations decide which news is important? This insightful book portrays in detail everyday work in three news agencies: Swedish TT, Italian ANSA and the worldwide Reuters.
Trade ReviewTT, Ansa, Reuters are not intermediaries that transfer information to their clients, rather they are producers of the news... or better, in this book, they are fac(s)tories. This passionate journey into the management of overflow of news in input and in output starts with the question: when a flow is an overflow? How people daily survive such overflow? Read the book and discover how the answer is simpler than expected! --Silvia Gherardi, University of Trento, Italy
