Journalists shouldn't be biased pro-democracy. Considering how many benefit directly from publicly funded employment or indirectly from publicly funded telecommunications systems, or are aided by unionization, they should be pro-socialist.Permalink On twitter.com

Anyway the real answer is: document your influences, sources, and privileges and acknowledge that your biases seep through no matter what and give readers the tools to understand both individual writer and editorial direction biases.Permalink On twitter.com

The real takeaway from the dumb SPJ thing shouldn't be that the 'view from nowhere' is blinding and deforming mass media, but that there are absolutely authoritarian tendency journalists in main stream media acting as if the shit they believe in isn't causing them bias.Permalink On twitter.com

Like... Plenty of western journalists are clearly pro-capitalism and pro-status quo so to even have an event arguing 'don't bias pro-democracy' is really a strong indicator that there are 'professional' journalists pulling the other way.Permalink On twitter.com

When in the newsroom I was more inclined to go w/the problem being journalists performing non-bias w/o examining their own biases, but, I worked w/many orgs & got distance from the newsroom & now I suspect its a specific set of journalists with specific biases that are the issue.Permalink On twitter.com
