在新闻机构开始将其内容放到网上之前，人们通过印刷或电视获得新闻，而且几乎总是在工作场所以外。但如今，我们中的大多数人都在工作时盯着办公桌上的头条新闻，我们已经习惯了即时访问网络上不断更新的故事。可获得的新闻量以及我们如何消费的这种变化，伴随着编辑劳动方面的一个意想不到的发展：竞争对手的新闻机构现在可以密切关注竞争并模仿它们，导致新闻的多样性减少。巴勃罗·J·博兹科夫斯基(Pablo J.Boczkowski)窥探了记者创作故事的新闻编辑室和公众阅读新闻的工作环境，揭示了为什么记者导致新闻越来越相似--尽管他们不喜欢--以及为什么消费者默许了他们越来越不满意的媒体体系。将布宜诺斯艾利斯的两份报纸与美国的类似发展进行比较和对比，《工作中的新闻》为生活在一个信息更多但新闻更少的世界提供了一个具有启发性的视角。
Before news organizations began putting their content online, people got the news in print or on TV and almost always outside of the workplace. But nowadays, most of us keep an eye on the headlines from our desks at work, and we have become accustomed to instant access to a growing supply of constantly updated stories on the Web. This change in the amount of news available as well as how we consume it has been coupled with an unexpected development in editorial labor: rival news organizations can now keep tabs on the competition and imitate them, resulting in a decrease in the diversity of the news. Peeking inside the newsrooms where journalists create stories and the work settings where the public reads them, Pablo J. Boczkowski reveals why journalists contribute to the growing similarity of news - even though they dislike it - and why consumers acquiesce to a media system they find increasingly dissatisfying. Comparing and contrasting two newspapers in Buenos Aires with similar developments in the United States, "News at Work" offers an enlightening perspective on living in a world with more information but less news.
