저널리즘 객관성에 대한 실용적 접근 = Practical Meaning of Objectivity in the Era of Journalism Crisis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to re-identify the journalistic ethic of objectivity in respect of its rhetorical purpose. This study argues that as the digital media increase the commonalities of information, it is more important to understand the rhetorical meaning of objectivity; rather than its ontological/epistemological ground. For the purpose, this study reviews the previous debate on journalistic objectivity. Through the reviews, this study argues that journalistic objectivity does not rest on an ontological/epistemological ground, rather it should be understood as their shared interpretive frameworks to legitimate their practices of profession. Also, this study argues that the primary role of journalists is to maintain discursive and material coherence among different subjectivities. For the reason, journalistic objectivity needs to be re-positioned as a normative practice for the purpose of journalism, a telos, which is to provoke conversation among the publics.
