CLASS NOTES:

Week 3:

Public interest, objectivity, bias are the conecepts of this week. Why do these concepts work together and the importance.

Week 3 readings: Lowery, Wesley. "A Reckoning Over Objectivity, Led by

Black Journalists." The New York Times, 23 June 2020.

? Ingram, Matthew. "What Comes After We Get Rid of

Objectivity in Journalism?" Columbia Journalism Review, 2

July 2020.

? Canadian Association of Journalists Code of Ethics and

Principles for Ethical Journalism

? Suggested: Blair, J. Anthony. "What is Bias?" Groundwork

in the Theory of Argumentation, Argumentation Library.

• Public interest: who do we serve and why?
• Objectivity: how do we process/ interpret/ the world we cover?

Context:

• normativ e lens and more attention to new issues, plus social media.
• Calling out gaps, discrimination, bias in newsrooms.
• New social movements.
• Questioning of the journalism model, "objectivity" and watching out for bias.

Whats public interest?

• Protecting freedom of expression, access to information.
• Keeping movernments the powerful to account.
• Not everything is public interest.
• Debate over whats in and whats out.
• Who has the right to know/ who doesnt need to know.

• Including detecting or exposing crime or a serious misdemeanour
• Protecting puble health and safety;
• Proveneting the public from being misled by some statement or action of an individual or organisation.
• Exposing misuse of public funds or other forms of corruption by public bodies;
• Revealing potential conflicts of intrest byy those in position of power and influence;
• Exposing corporate greed;
• Exposing hyptocritial behaviour.

Whats Objectivity?

• Recall the liberal model and the enlightenment.
• Emphasis on reason, rationality, perfectiability.
• System 1 VS System 2.
• Dispassionate reasoning machine, individual, separated from commitments, biases, an illusion. (our brains are not computers).

What if objectivity isnt about ethical standers or morality, what if about making money, trying to appeal to many people.

What is Bias?

Whats the difference between bias and argument?

What is Accuracy?

• Does this account match the world?
• Says who?

CAJ principles, digital accuracy and corrections:

• 1. Published digital content is part of the historical record and should not be unpublished. News organitations do not rewrite history or make news disappear.
• Exceptions:minor edits, spelling and grammar (meaning is key).

Sliverman, five keys to quality corrections;

• 1. Deliver the accountability we demand of others: Consistent standards, and be more careful.
• 2. Make mistakes easy to report, easy in a digital world, have it on stories, form of websites.
• 3. Create a corrections workflow, have a process backed by policy.
• 4. Corrections must be clear and sincere, clarify and sincerity first, must inform the reader and do not hide/minimize.
• 5. Corrections must be spread and promoted, should have reach, send it across channels and being sincere.

Fact check and corrections:

• Collaborative effort involving entire team: writer, sources, editor,fact checking, copy editor. (TIJ)
• Goal of FC:" not to poke holes in a story but rather to strengthen it so thay it stands up to scrutiny and cant be objected to on factual grouds"(TIJ).
• Outcome: fairness, accuracy, and credibility. (TIJ)

• Whats a fact? A thing that is known or proved to be true (Oxford).
• Experience or observation
• Verifiable fact and interpretation.
