How do journalists know what they know? Who gets to decide what
good journalism is and when it's done right? What sort of expertise
do journalists have, and what role should and do they play in
society? Until a couple of decades ago, journalists rarely asked
these questions, largely because the answers were generally
undisputed. Now, the stakes are rising for journalists as they face
real-time critique and audience pushback for their ethics, news
reporting, and relevance. Yet the crises facing journalism have
been narrowly defined as the result of disruption by new
technologies and economic decline. This book argues that the
concerns are in fact much more profound. Drawing on their five
years of research with journalists in the U.S. and Canada, in a
variety of news organizations from startups and freelancers to
mainstream media, the authors find a digital reckoning taking place
regarding journalism's founding ideals and methods. The book
explores journalism's long-standing representational harms, arguing
that despite thoughtful explorations of the role of publics in
journalism, the profession hasn't adequately addressed matters of
gender, race, intersectionality, and settler colonialism. In doing
so, the authors rethink the basis for what journalism says it could
and should do, suggesting that a turn to strong objectivity and
systems journalism provides a path forward. They offer insights
from journalists' own experiences and efforts at repair, reform,
and transformation to consider how journalism can address its
limits and possibilities along with widening media publics.
