This book illuminates the sometimes obscure processes through which the news is currently created, using unprecedentedly robust and comprehensive evidence. The innovative methodology of the face-to-face reconstruction interview, which was developed and implemented by the author, enables quantitative depiction of different aspects of news making. These processes could not be accessed systematically by traditional research methods, primarily because of source confidentiality and their covert, scattered, abstract, and evasive nature. Although the study focuses on the Israeli national press, it is aimed first and foremost at addressing key questions that continue to trouble communities of journalists, academics and journalism educators.
