Abstract
The overall picture from research on U.S. journalists from the early 1970s to the early years of this first decade of the 21st century is one of “more stability than change” (Weaver et al. 2007: 239). But there are some changes and contradictions that are worth noting, and I will concentrate more on these in this chapter than on those things that have not changed much over the past 30 years.
