They are supposed to remain neutral, impartial, and objective. Yet there is also a long tradition in journalism, dating back to the 1800s, that pursues truth by practising solidarity for social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnita Varma offers a bold defence of reporting for social justice, showing what journalistic solidarity looks like in principle and in practice. She argues that solidarity is a longstanding yet unacknowledged journalistic norm that fosters truthful reporting when people's basic dignity is at stake. Ethical journalism incorporates solidarity throughout the reporting process: deciding what is newsworthy, whom to include, how to approach them, what questions to ask, how to structure stories, and how to assess impact. Varma illustrates these practices through case studies of local and national reporting on homelessness, housing instability, and the cost of living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on analysis of published journalism, in-depth interviews with journalists, and public engagement with people who aim to make journalism better, \u003cem\u003eSolidarity in Journalism\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates how reporting can help society's most vulnerable. Amid intense debate over the role of the media, this book makes an urgent case for solidarity in journalism as crucial for representing and addressing social division.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47306950508780,"sku":"9780231215473","price":104.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/251e948bbbc3fd2311fa45415b68f830.jpg?v=1771099749"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/anita-varma.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
