What kind of reporting is regarded as the standard of excellence by The Society of Professional Journalists?

Objectivity can mean many things. In the sense of a distance from subjectivity, it is a contentious theme in professional journalism. It can be striven for, but it is rarely possible, and may not always be desirable in the face of brutality or inhumanity (for example, fair and independent reporting would not give the same moral credence to the claims of those who have been convicted of committing war crimes as those of people who have survived them – although even the latter should not be above investigation into their veracity). But fairness, independence, accuracy, contextuality, transparency, protection of confidential sources and perspicacity61 in reporting build trust, credibility and confidence.1)  Achieving objectivity in journalism is straightforward and paramount, ensuring reports are balanced without reliance on additional journalistic virtues.2)  Objectivity necessitates impartial consideration of all narratives, equating the perspectives of both war criminals and their victims.3)  Navigating objectivity in journalism is nuanced; prioritizing fairness, accuracy, and transparency is essential for cultivating credibility.4)  The foremost objective of journalism is to attain absolute objectivity, relegating principles such as fairness and accuracy to a subordinate status.
