Objective means (to me): acute observation research both (or all) sides multiple sources for data presented solid critical thinking avoidance of "propaganda" I can't imagine "not" having a point a view and/or opinion about that which I observe in the world. Further - I hope that the personal style and perspectives of writers, photographers, artists and journalists come through in their work. I have little interest in laundry list reporting.
