Title: Journalism and the Philosophy of Truth - Beyond Objectivity and 
Balance

Publisher: Routledge

Series: Routledge Research in Journalism

Author: Asst. Prof. Jesse Owen Hearns-Branaman

Description:

This book bridges a gap between discussions about truth, human 
understanding, and epistemology in philosophical circles, and debates 
about objectivity, bias, and truth in journalismstudies. It examines 
four major philosophical theories in easy to understand terms while 
maintaining a critical insight which is fundamental to the contemporary 
study of journalism. The book aims to move forward the discussion of 
truth in the news media by dissecting commonly used concepts such as 
bias, objectivity, balance, fairness, in a philosophically-grounded way, 
drawing on in-depth interviews with journalists to explore how 
journalists talk about truth.It is available in hardcover and e-book.
