My first thought on reading the title is an "I disagree". But the more I read on #objective #journalism after this article, it does indeed look like that the endless, never-reaching goal of "objectivity" is very soulless and just not happy to work on. Maybe that could be one of the reasons why my older brother gave up his job at #Reuters... :satsuki_sadge:

I still think that we need some news articles that are written with the aim to be "objective", as a "view from nowhere" is still a view from somewhere, IMO. It's interesting to see how some overly detached person would look at it, and especially what are the blind spots that would be often missed in ("objective") reporting.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but perhaps this one of the few things that #ArtificialIntelligence can replace jobs on that would be beneficial overall? :sagume_think: Nobody seems to really like writing "objective" news, and though I have no illusions of #AI being somehow more neutral or less biased than human "objective journalists", I do believe it can write how an "objective journalist" usually would. Most of the replaced can work more on subjective journalism which they can burnout less on, and news agencies can widen the scope of the daily events they report on because human labor is now less of a bottleneck. :economist_kasen:

I don't think this application can be done right now but it's something worth looking to in the future! :cirno_thumbs_up:
