	AEI - Short Publications
		Gans believes this label to be so telling that he devotes a fifth of his slim volume to tracing its evolution from a throwaway line in a 1963 Gunnar Myrdal study to a buzzword for the prestige press a generation later.
		Gans’ exposition, for example, one would hardly know that the illegitimacy rate in America quintupled between the early 1960s and the early 1990s or that AFDC changed over the course of its existence from a program for supporting widows and orphans to a program primarily supporting unmarried women and their children.
		Gans believes it is improper to try to distinguish between the deserving and the undeserving poor, it is surprising that a writer of his sophistication cannot make the imaginative leap that would permit him to understand why others might wish to do so.

	Reason: Journalism’s Identity Crisis: What is the news for?
		Gans tries to have it both ways: News practices can and should be changed to encourage citizenship, but in the end, they don’t really matter.
		Gans points out that the news has a function of social continuity -- demonstrating by its recurring formulaic coverage that "the social order continues to exist." He also argues that the news informs people of what journalists deem important, legitimates the dominant social system, possibly shapes opinions, and (rarely) has effects on individual actions.
		Gans suggests that local news constantly seek to address the "effects, implications and impacts" of national and international news on the local community.

		Gans suggests that the poor could be used to “drastically reduce class size in public schools” (435), although how this would work isn’t clear.
		Gans also wants us to learn that whenever poverty seems to be associated with certain racial and cultural groups, prejudice is the problem (438-9).
		Gans is outraged that “the basic moralistic expectations [of society].include the demand that the poor live up to values that their socioeconomic superiors preach but do not always practice” (434).

	Commentary Magazine - Popular Culture and High Culture, by Herbert J. Gans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		...Gans is clearly unaware of how unnecessary, even how archaic, such deference has become in the last decade or so, a period whose most salient feature from a cultural standpoint may well turn out to have been the embryonic but unmistakable emergence into respectability-and even into the university curriculum-of various forms of popular culture...
		...Subcultural programming is advisable, Gans strangely argues in his third and culminating chapter, not because the minority cultures thus wondrously brought to life would be intrinsically valuable or interesting or rich, Ibut only because "cultural choices" are rigidly determined by one's social class and, especially, by the level of one's education...
		...Gans reminds us sharply, and I think persuasively, that for most people aesthetic experience belongs in the category of leisure activity, and, therefore, that high culture's impulse to confer special dignity on cultural fare may well establish standards or expectations that are inappropriate for a great deal of popular art...

	American Journalism Review
		Gans is an eminent Columbia University sociologist, best known to journalists for his excellent 1979 book, "Deciding What's News," which critically examined the underlying conventions and procedures of the news media.
		Gans is most provocative when challenging our articles of faith, particularly the view that if the press just better informs citizens, then they will become more involved in civic life and democracy will benefit.
		Gans argues that lack of power is more debilitating to citizens than lack of information.

	village voice > books > What Liberal Media? by Eric Alterman; Democracy and the News by Herbert J. Gans by John Giuffo
		Gans falls short, however, in his sometimes frustrating omission of statistical and textual evidence.
		When discussing the punditry's ideological imbalance, Gans claims, "Guests are frequently chosen from representatives of the Right and Center, the Left having long ago been banished from the mainstream news media," without providing any numerical foundation.
		Gans ends with suggestions on how to improve both the news and American democracy that range from the practical (more expertise for beat reporters) to the bold (less objectivity, more voice) to the hopelessly idealistic (rethinking democratic theory).

		...Gans has not been content with merely describing what he saw and heard: he has also integrated and structured his vast collection of data into a well-ordered and useful community study...
		...Gans pushes the discussion of his point much too far into "either-or" terms, i.e., peer-group society is either an ethnic or a class phenomenon...

		Herbert J. GansThe urban villagers; group and class in the life of Italian-Americans.
		Herbert Gans's The Urban Villagers is a study of an Italian-American neighborhood in Boston.Gans begins his book by tracing the origins of words such as "underclass," which began as an economic term but evolved into a judgment of moral value.
		One of the reasons Gans wrote his new book was to point out that the social decay running rampant in poor communities is not a natural characteristic of the people who live there; it is a result of their poverty.

	Amazon.com: The War Against the Poor: The Underclass and Antipoverty Policy: Books: Herbert J. Gans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Professor Herbert Gans is an esteemed and reputable sociologist who first gained prominence with his absorbing study of the effect of urban renewal in the metropolitan Boston area for ethnic Americans in "The Urban Villagers" in the early 1960s, and also for his interesting description of the rise of suburbia in "The Levittowners".
		Regardless of the professional tone to the language Professor Gans so skillfully employs, the reader can immediately sense the degree of empathy and compassion this bespectacled and now elderly academic holds for the human beings he is writing about.
		Gans is warning us of more stressful times to come, and asks us to reconsider our priorities to become more fully human.

	Basic Books
		Probing the deep psychological, social, and political reasons why Americans seek to indict millions of poor citizens as “undeserving,” Gans calls for a cease-fire in the undeclared war against the poor.
		He concludes with a set of innovative, job-centered policy proposals and a multifaceted educational plan to stop the endless flow of new recruits into America’s untouchable caste.
		“Gans lays bare America’s obsession with the poor.… [This] may be a painful book to read, but we avoid it at our own peril.”

		Journalism has plenty of failings, and while Columbia University sociology professor Gans is sure to point out many of them in this book, he also holds out hope for the profession's redemption.
		Obsessed with profits and entertainment over the public-minded debate of issues, media outlets have sunk in Gans's esteem to where their reporters and anchors are seen as the moral equivalents of politicians and lawyers.
		Of course, these problems have been debated for decades; but Gans puts forward various suggestions for how both journalism and democracy in America may be improved, including increasing the diversity of newsrooms and strengthening the voice of citizen lobbies.

		Johnson's body shop, society news written by journalists from "low income backgrounds," reports written in non-standard English, and stories written by teen reporters aabout how new legislation will affect their peers (Beavis and Butthead do Washington).
		Professor Gans manages to insult his readers' intelligence with the astoundingly obvious.
		At the same time, he barely mentions independent Internet websites and weblogs (Slate, Matt Drudge, Wonkette, etc.), word-of-mouth via multiply-forwarded email, Fox News and MSNBC, talking head programs like Crossfire, current events books focusing on politics, Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, MTV, and almost any other new technology or non-traditional news source.
