All is not relative: Essential shared values and the press.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Reporters and editors share values. If there were no shared values essential to the practice of journalism, it would be impossible to distinguish a journalist from other mass communicators. The set of journalistic values provides the base for an argument that journalists are pluralists, not relativists.
