"Objectivity is seeing the world as it is, not how you wish it were."- Michael Bugeja
I love this quote. There are many different ways to define objectivity and each person has their own definition. I believe that most journalists strive for objectivity (however you define it) but there will always be the critics out there calling you out for bias. Every person sees the world through their own eyes. I like the ending paragraph about the reporter in Iraq who stopped his journalistic duties to help a wounded soldier and said that he is a human first, reporter second. I believe that should be true for any profession you are in but like the article says, it is sad that he had to worry about his reputation as a journalist at all from his actions.
