Advocates of Civic Journalism claim this trend is about providing people with the news and information they need to allow them to function as citizens and to make the decisions they are called on to make in a democratic society. Critics note that only objective journalism truly serves a Democracy. Recent trends in news reporting, coupled with technological advances, have sped the emergence of civic journalism, also known as ?advocacy? journalism. This course examines the origins of objective reporting in the mid-19th century and its transition, in several cases to civic journalism, at the end of the 20th century and up to modern times. |
