navigating media

We need philosophy of journalism.

“Why, at a time of breakneck technological and social revolution in news and newsrooms, do deans and presidents permit ossified philosophy departments to abdicate their responsibility to cover the world by not thinking about the media? How can it be that journalism and philosophy, the two humanistic intellectual activities that most boldly (and some think obnoxiously) vaunt their primary devotion to truth, are barely on speaking terms?” Carlin Romano in The Chronicle of Higher Education (2007). One of my first and favorite articles on this subject.
