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 terrainone that has become increasingly crowded by those with no journalistic credentials. Examining historical antecedents current dilemmas international aspects and theoretical considerations contributors make the case that the journalists impulse to hold onto objectivity and to ignore the increasing subjectivities to which citizens are attuned actually contributes to the news medias disconnect from todays news consumer.
