Stephen Hicks, "A Primer on Objective Journalism"

Stephen Hicks, "A Primer on Objective Journalism"

Stephen Hicks, a Canadian-American philosopher who teaches at Rockford University, explains what objectivity entails, especially in journalism. For instance, he explains that being objective doesn't mean suspending judgment or not having an opinion. It does mean having a respect for the facts and reporting them without distorting them (at least not consciously!) to fit a narrative or to pitch a predetermined case.
