amazing thread i loved my professors in my journalism program but as the the ONLY nonwhite student in my graduating class, i was consistently the one pushing back on my classmates' perceived definition of objectivity objectivity ≠ silence objectivity ≠ both sides

journalism schools across the country, which are predominately ran by white administration, teach a very inaccurate notion of objectivity to their students, essentially pushing this idea of false equivalency onto them.
