Journalism, Bias, and the Battle Over Truth

Unspun

About this episode

What does it mean for journalism to be “objective”—and has that ideal outlived its usefulness? In this episode, DrSturg traces the rise of objectivity as a professional norm, examine how it shaped newsrooms, and look at the moments where it fell short—from Civil Rights reporting to vaccine coverage. She explores how political polarization, social media, and the calls for “moral clarity” are reshaping the conversation today. With real-world stories and thoughtful analysis, she unpacks why objectivity remains so powerful—and so contested—in the 21st-century media landscape.
