Modern mainstream journalism faces a very real disturbance of its
foundational premise that credible news is gathered and articulated
from an objective stance. This volume offers new examinations of
how the traditional notion of objectivity is changing as
professional journalists grapple with a rapidly evolving news
terrain--one that has become increasingly crowded by those with no
journalistic credentials. Examining historical antecedents, current
dilemmas with objectivity, international aspects, and theoretical
considerations, contributors makes the unique case that the
journalist's impulse to hold onto objectivity, and to ignore the
increasing amount of subjectivities to which citizens are attuned,
actually contributes to the news media's disconnect from today's
news consumer. By revealing how traditional journalism needs to
incorporate ""post-objective"" stances, these essays stimulate
further thought and conversation about news with a view in both
theory and practice.
