The Philosophy of
          Journalism
Our debate on journalism an
has relied upon notions such
  as truth, objectivity and
 balance; but what are the
philosophical foundations of
         these ideas?
News is what’s happening and we
should report it with imagination and
  scepticism (where appropriate).
• While it is true (rather than “true”) that
  we have to reject certain naïve and
  simplistic understandings of what truth
  and objectivity are, both remain
  perfectly coherent ideas and for the
  journalist, proper ideals.
