When I see story chats on my stories on refugees and immigrants, I feel saddened by the intolerance. There is rampant ignorance about issues and many people don't understand basic things like refugee status, immigration and world politics. It gets to me sometimes and I am tempted to defend my case but the objectivity clause in the journalism school that was programed into us, makes me hesitate.
There is no such thing as objectivity. Humans can't be.
I can no longer sit back and view those comments. I was never a taer for the objectvity logic. By the choice of topics or in the process of writing where we sift through a ton of quotes to find one that fits sour view of the story, we are not being objective.
