Is current news coverage in the world objective or biased? 『英検1級ライティング大特訓』159頁以下参照。
* In the contemporary media landscape, the question of whether news is objective or biased remains highly contentious. While traditional journalism strives for the "gold standard" of objectivity—defined by neutrality, factual accuracy, and the separation of reporting from opinion—the reality in 2025 is increasingly complex.
Objectivity is often an aspirational goal rather than a guaranteed outcome. The selection of stories, the choice of headlines, and even the "experts" quoted are all subjective decisions that can introduce subtle bias. Furthermore, the digital age has introduced "algorithmic bias." Most people now consume news via social media or AI-driven feeds that prioritize engagement over editorial significance. This creates echo chambers, where users are primarily exposed to information that reinforces their existing beliefs, making even "objective" facts appear biased to certain audiences.
However, it is inaccurate to label all news as intentionally deceptive. Many reputable organizations still employ rigorous fact-checking and transparent sourcing to mitigate personal prejudices. The rise of independent "fact-checkers" also serves as a check on misinformation. Ultimately, news coverage is a mixture of both: while professional standards aim for objectivity, the systemic pressures of profit, speed, and platform algorithms often result in a biased delivery of the truth.
