Objectivity and impartiality have long stood as some of the core values of journalism. Many newspapers and outlets hold their employees to strict Codes of Ethics, forbidding them from active involvement in partisan causes. However, the past few decades have seen a push back against these notions of objectivity, putting forth alternatives like “point-of-view journalism” and “advocacy journalism.” After political movements like #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter hit the mainstream, more and more young people are identifying as activists. Is it possible to combine activism and journalism, or should there be a strict division between the two? In this session you’ll hear from an array of experts to answer these hotly debated questions. Learn how these terms have changed over time and what they mean in the 2025 media landscape.
