The concept of "true and unbiased news" is an undisputed ideal of serious news journalism worldwide and therefore the basic principle for news agencies in all democratic societies. However, it took a long time until modern news agencies were established. The articles in this book discuss this fascinating process. They are based on the symposium "The Various Faces of Reality", reflecting the development of "Values in News (Agency) Journalism" between institutional constraints and visions of press freedom.
The wide range of the articles - from the origins of journalism and "news visionaries" during the 20th century up to journalism after World War II and during the Cold War - provides an excellent insight into the history of newsmaking. Additionally, the book contributes to the current discussion about different forms of organisation of news agencies (especially in CEE-countries), based on a historical analysis of various structures of news agencies and their development. You can also find a discussion of high-ranking participants at the Journalistic Matinee on "'True and Unbiased News' in Times of 'Good' and 'Evil' - News Writing after September 11".
