Objectivity “Wars”: A Move Toward Reimagining Journalism

Subramanium Vincent, director, journalism and media ethics, published in The Objective.

There were several ways the conversation about objectivity in journalism continued throughout 2022, one of which was the Columbia Journalism Review’s September “Objectivity Wars” event. The discussion supplied questions for journalists to consider in their practice and priorities.

"If you are already coasting through life and society and the economy are working for you, you need and use the news for very different reasons than people and communities who have been marginalized or oppressed by that same society and economy. This needs to be front and center in any debate on journalism’s practices."
