Download or read book Just the Facts written by David T.Z. Mindich and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1998-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If American journalism were a religion, then its supreme deity would be "objectivity." Although it has remained the orbital sun of all journalistic ethics, objectivity, until now, has had no biographer. David Mindich here journeys back to the nineteenth century to recover the lost history and meaning of this central tenet of American journalism. His book draws on a number of high profile cases that show the degree to which journalism and the evolving journalistic commitment to objectivity altered - and in some cases limited - the public's understanding of events and issues. Through this subtle combination of history and cultural criticism, Mindich provides a profound meditation on the structure, promise, and limits of objectivity in the age of cybermedia.

Book excerpt: 'The Inverted Pyramid' is a spy thriller that ingeniously explores the mind of its main character Zuby; while at the same time it reveals Nigeria's socio-political system with the aim of providing much needed answers to the many anomalies that exist in Nigerian society today.

It captures the Nigerian psyche explaining what we have all come to recognize as the 'Nigerian factor.' It also unveils a rare insight into the nuances of modern Nigerian society in which money, and sex play a pivotal role in the lives of the 'Vested Interest' who are the few who benefit from the status quo at the expense of the greater majority.

Download or read book The View from Somewhere written by Lewis Raven Wallace and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the history of the idea of the objective journalist and how this very ideal can often be used to undercut itself. In The View from Somewhere, Lewis Raven Wallace dives deep into the history of “objectivity” in journalism and how its been used to gatekeep and silence marginalized writers as far back as Ida B. Wells. At its core, this is a book about fierce journalists who have pursued truth and transparency and sometimes been punished for it—not just by tyrannical governments but by journalistic institutions themselves. He highlights the stories of journalists who question “objectivity” with sensitivity and passion: Desmond Cole of the Toronto Star; New York Times reporter Linda Greenhouse; Pulitzer Prize-winner Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah; Peabody-winning podcaster John Biewen; Guardian correspondent Gary Younge; former Buzzfeed reporter Meredith Talusan; and many others. Wallace also shares his own experiences as a midwestern transgender journalist and activist who was fired from his job as a national reporter for public radio for speaking out against “objectivity” in coverage of Trump and white supremacy. With insightful steps through history, Wallace stresses that journalists have never been mere passive observers. Using historical and contemporary examples—from lynching in the nineteenth century to transgender issues in the twenty-first—Wallace offers a definitive critique of “objectivity” as a catchall for accurate journalism. He calls for the dismissal of this damaging mythology in order to confront the realities of institutional power, racism, and other forms of oppression and exploitation in the news industry. The View from Somewhere is a compelling rallying cry against journalist neutrality and for the validity of news told from distinctly subjective voices.
