For decades, objectivity has been cited as journalism's gold standard, promising that journalists would stick “to the facts" and deliver both sides of the story, excluding their personal views. Those in support say it builds trust and gives newsreaders the information they need to form their own opinions. Those against say it suppresses certain valuable viewpoints and that some issues don’t merit the "both sides" treatment. Now, we debate: "Is Objectivity Essential in Journalism?”

Arguing Yes: Bret Stephens, Opinion Columnist at The New York Times

Arguing No: Leonard Downie, Jr, Former Executive Editor of The Washington Post

Nayeema Raza, Journalist and Host of "Smart Girl Dumb Questions", is the guest moderator.
