    Lab Book Club: Jay Hamilton

    This edition of the Nieman Journalism Lab Book Club took a look at All the News That’s Fit to Sell: How the Market Transforms Information into News, by Duke University professor James Hamilton. It examines how market forces influence the kind of journalism that news organizations produce, and how the system can be shaped to produce more quality reporting.
