'So You Want to be a Reporter' with Carol Marin & Lisa Parker
Objectivity in Political Coverage
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
With the never-ending flood of political news, reporters everywhere are having to grapple with a long-standing journalistic principle: objectivity. Politicians are spreading misinformation, audiences are rewarding partisan coverage and leaders are attacking the free press. In the face of all this chaos, how can journalists still get to the balanced truth of a story?
National and Chicago-based political reporters Amy Walter, Haley BeMiller and Tahman Bradley join hosts Carol Marin and Lisa Parker to discuss all things objectivity: how its challenging, how its changing and how reporters should chase it.
