Nikole Hannah-Jones’ July 6 decision to reject the University of North Carolina’s offer of tenure prompted some journalism faculty and college students to downplay the value of “objectivity” and “impartiality” in reporting.
On July 14, journalism professors at the University of North Carolina held a meeting to discuss their discomfort with objective reporting, specifically “impartiality” in reporting and editing, as outlined in the “Statement of Core Values” displayed in the university’s Hussman School of Journalism and Media.

“If your objectivity actively reduces Black voices and contributions, perhaps you don’t value perspectives that don’t look like your own. The people in power write the history books and will always view their actions through the rose-tinted glasses of self-justification.”The students also argued that […]
