People are used to believing that American
journalism is like a scientific experiment: no preconceptions exist,
journalists simply watch what is going on in the tube under heat and then report
it. But the authors of our textbook present another perspective:
Journalism is not value-free. American journalism carries the same
taken-for-granted myth, as journalism in the USSR and China. One myth of our
democratic narrative on news media is "responsible capitalism."
After the financial meltdown of 2008, we have clearly seen how
"responsible" Wall Street really is. So, what's wrong with these
"values" disseminated by our journalists and gobbled up by our
readers? Do you believe American journalism is truly objective and value-free?
