Journalism, Bias, and the Battle Over Truth
Manage episode 473230748 series 3508916
What does it mean for journalism to be “objective”—and has that ideal outlived its usefulness? In this episode, DrSturg traces the rise of objectivity as a professional norm, examine how it shaped newsrooms, and look at the moments where it fell short—from Civil Rights reporting to vaccine coverage. She explores how political polarization, social media, and the calls for “moral clarity” are reshaping the conversation today. With real-world stories and thoughtful analysis, she unpacks why objectivity remains so powerful—and so contested—in the 21st-century media landscape.
