In the end, my position on objectivity comes down to this. First, different experiences and perspectives of journalists should be welcomed and acted upon when debating what to cover and how to approach it.
But once that process moves to a story’s execution, best practices remain the same. At last fall’s Idea Fest, Bernstein described how as a reporter he boldly pursued sources, knocked on doors and voraciously consumed documents, all without preconceptions about where his story would eventually lead.
I don’t think telling readers that journalism needs to move beyond objectivity aligns with that.
