| Abstract: | This article provides a broad overview of how American journalism historians have treated the concept of objectivity in the latter part of the 20th century. In following the narrative of objectivity's history, the author finds that historians’ narratives have shifted as intellectual attitudes toward objectivity have changed. Now that objectivity no longer plays as central a role in journalism as it once did, histories of the concept may shift once again. |
