Fair & Balanced: A History of Journalistic Objectivity (Knowlton & Freeman)

This book traces the history of objectivity from the middle of the 17th century to our new mil­lennium, with its instant, global factoids and yet the con­tinu­ing nagging sense that the best journalism “stands for some­thing.” In this book, 17 scholars provide the most compre­hensive look ever attempted at the development and the changing meanings of this slippery con­cept.
