Episode description
“Who measures objectivity? Who judges objectivity?”
Objectivity is traditionally seen as a cardinal tenet of journalism, but Daniel Browning's long experience in Australian newsrooms has left him questioning whether objectivity is possible, or even beneficial.
The Bundjalung and Kullili man, who leads the ABC's Indigenous Radio unit, says First Nations communities have been failed by the Australian media.
He champions the idea of subjective journalism, believing that being 'close to the subject’ can be an asset.
“The lie of objectivity is that we assume we have it.”
