Yes, free on the Web, here is Phil Meyer's classic text on the use of social science techniques in journalism. Surely this is the most influential book about journalism in many years. As the book begins, "If you are a journalist, or thinking of becoming one, you may have already noticed this: They are raising the ante on what it takes to be a journalist."
