Abstract

The importance of the concept of objectivity in the media is well attested. Since the beginning of the newspaper press in the early nineteenth Century in the United States and in Europe, rising democracy in the Society has produced various economic, political and technological factors which have led to a neutral and "non-partisan" reporting. So what does it mean in this context? objectivity in journalism can be considered as a synonym of neutral point of view; it is a process in which facts are separated from opinions and ideologies. Stories are therefore organized around facts, and the basis is the neutrality of events: in case of conflict, reporters have to present the views of both sides to balance the situation. This essay will also review the progressive evolution of journalism and the rising popularity of the concept of objectivity.
