As Michael Schudson pointed out in “[Discovering the News](https://www.amazon.com/Discovering-News-History-American-Newspapers/dp/0465016669/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Discovering+the+News&qid=1675095630&s=books&sr=1-1)” (1978), the notion that good journalism is “objective”—that is, nonpartisan and unopinionated—emerged only around the start of the twentieth century. Schudson thought that it arose as a response to growing skepticism about the whole idea of stable and reliable truths. The standard of objectivity, as he put it, “was not the final expression of a belief in facts but the assertion of a method designed for a world in which even facts could not be trusted. . . . Journalists came to believe in objectivity, to the extent that they did, because they wanted to, needed to, were forced by ordinary human aspiration to seek escape from their own deep convictions of doubt and drift.” In other words, objectivity was a problematic concept from the start.
