The View from Somewhere
Trust in journalists is at an all-time low, but the work of journalism matters more than ever. And traditional “objectivity” may be hurting, rather than helping. All journalists have a view from somewhere, and ”objective” journalism often upholds status quo thinking and reinforces racism, sexism, and transphobia. Host Lewis Raven Wallace was fired from the public radio show Marketplace in 2017 for saying just that. In the years since, Lewis has dug into the history of “objectivity,” who it serves, and who it excludes. The View from Somewhere tells the stories of journalists who have resisted “objectivity” and stood up for justice, and envisions new approaches to truth and integrity in journalism.

I binge listened to this podcast half a year ago. But it has so stuck with me and changed my ideas about objectivity and journalism. Like this morning, while getting cereal for my kids, I found myself mulling over the movement journalism episode, many months after hearing it. That’s a sign of a really powerful podcast and inspired me to leave a review. Thank you for creating it!

And why such a thing doesn’t exist. And why that’s good.
