Editor's Creedo

My idea of objectivity in journalism is depicting differing viewpoints and seeking out a variety of sources. Yet, I know that each writer, reporter, and member of the media inevitably brings their own experiences, ideas, values and beliefs to a story. Therefore, without some subjectivity in the story, there is little chance for engagement between the writer and the reader as the reader often looks for shared passions in the media.
