Social norms - Michael Hechter, Karl-Dieter Opp. In Defence of a Supposedly Outdated Notion: The Range of Application of Journalistic Objectivity. Gilles Gauthier (Université Laval) If thought is to go far enough, the imagination must go further.
If the will is to accomplish enough, it must imagine more. Gaston Bachelard, La formation de l'esprit scientifique. Questioning Journalistic Objectivity. Journalism, as we've known it, has been mourned deeply over the last few years.
The Internet has changed everything. "Citizen journalism," a phrase that still inspires dirty looks at most journalism conferences, has blurred the lines between objectivity and subjectivity, paid and unpaid labor, news and opinion. It gives veteran journalists agita to imagine totally untrained people messing around in their exclusive, albeit hardscrabble, club.

Within hours, bloggers noticed that the two plumes of smoke looked suspiciously alike: a single plume had apparently been duplicated by photo-editing software, making the bomb damage seem worse than it was. Objectivity & Balance: Today's Best Practices in American Journalism. Objectivity in Journalism. DAVID BROOKS There is some dispute about whether objectivity can really exist.
How do we know the truth? Well, I’m not a relativist on the subject. I think there is truth out there and that objectivity is like virtue; it's the thing you always fall short of, but the thing you always strive toward. And by the way, I think that opinion journalists have to be objective just as much as straight reporters. Opinion journalists, too, have to be able to see reality wholly and truly.
