In 1981, Brookings published The Washington Reporters, the first entry in Stephen Hess's Newswork series. Hess has come full circle with this, the seventh and final Newswork title, in which he follows up on the 450 reporters surveyed in 1978 for the original book. Thirty-five years is a long time, and a lot has changed. Hess fully capitalizes on this unique opportunity to reveal a great deal about reporters, journalism, and how we get our news.
Stephen Hess is a senior fellow emeritus in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution and formerly Distinguished Research Professor of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University. He was a young speechwriter in the Eisenhower White House and returned to the White House to work with Presidents Nixon and Carter. He also advised the presidential transition teams of Reagan and Clinton. His numerous books include Through Their Eyes: Foreign Correspondents in the United States (Brookings, 2005) and Organizing the Presidency, with James Pfiffner (Brookings, 3d edition in 2002).
