Journalism innovation often skips the necessary because of a failure of perspective

2 weeks ago | rjionline.org | Gabe Schneider

The views expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Reynolds Journalism Institute or the University of Missouri. Grid News and Punchbowl News. Two new national newsrooms launched during the pandemic. Both claim to be different takes on how to reinvent journalism in the U.S. But beyond being well resourced, it’s not yet clear how either of these newsrooms will be more innovative than their predecessors beyond attrition.
Semafor's forum on media trust forum doesn't substantively address racial disparities

2 months ago | objectivejournalism.org | Gabe Schneider

Late last month, Semafor hosted an event that, per the description, brought together “the brightest minds in publishing, journalism, media, and investing.” The “Innovating to Restore Trust in News” summit invited 11 journalists, journalism executives, and leaders from media-adjacent organizations.
Democracy can die in broad daylight, too

And just like that, there was no more old textile museum in Northwest DC. Instead, in 2020, there was Jeff Bezos’ 25-bathroom-strong house. Now, in 2025, there is no Washington Post opinion section anymore. Instead, there is Jeff Bezos.
You don't mean DEI

Feb 14, 2025 | objectivejournalism.org | Gabe Schneider

DEI is “controversial.”If you ask President Donald Trump, it’s possibly the reason for the first air collision on American soil in 16 years — specifically, the hiring of air traffic controllers with disabilities. An acronym is easy to write. DEI, taken at its most literal, is “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” But it would be much more useful for journalists to spell out what the administration is doing: resegregation.
Four and a half years later, The Objective is still here. What’s next?

Jan 27, 2025 | objectivejournalism.org | Gabe Schneider |James Salanga

With your help, we raised over $16,600 during our end-of-year fundraiser.What are we going to do with your money? We’re a small non-profit publication focusing on media criticism and reporting — specifically accounting for race, gender, class, disability, and sexuality. From 2020-2024, our leadership team was volunteer, and only writers were paid per story. Our budget is around $100,000 (meaning we raised about a sixth of that). That’s a big jump from 2020, when our budget was $0.
Ta-Nehisi Coates: The Journalist

Dec 6, 2024 | objectivejournalism.org | Gabe Schneider

In The Message, Ta-Nehisi Coates writes about the stories that shaped his understanding of journalism and the stories that shape our world. He also comes to a conclusion that’s eluded too many journalists: Our biggest legacy media institutions and the language they use have failed us. I first came to know Coates as an immature journalist looking for better words and a journalism job to take me away from my dorm.
One hundred issues of The Objective's newsletter

Nov 15, 2024 | objectivejournalism.org | Gabe Schneider

I’m not sure what I expected when I decided to publish a piece about objectivity and narratives in the summer of 2020. 100 issues later, The Objective and our newsletter are still here. What have we learned? Media reporting and criticism are still necessary (now more than ever). Mainstream newsrooms have largely abandoned the promises of 2020. In 2024, there will be no annual industry-wide journalism diversity survey.
Where is journalism going? Ask media workers, not elites

This story also appears in our newsletter, The Front Page, which examines systems of power and inequity in media. Subscribe here. This week, New York Magazine published a sprawling collection of anecdotes, interviews, quotes, and portraits about the “57 most powerful people in [news] media.” Among the incisive observations about the media business: “I don’t feel like employees understand how precarious it is at all,” said Carolyn Ryan, managing editor of the New York Times. Which employees?
Does the New York Times read the New York Times push alerts?

Jul 26, 2024 | objectivejournalism.org | Gabe Schneider

President Joe Biden has dropped out of the race for President. Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and former president Barack Obama all gave weight to the idea that Biden should drop out. And after weeks of uncertainty following a lackluster debate performance — one he advocated for — Biden, in the middle of an active COVID-19 case, relented. If you subscribe to the New York Times, you probably know this.
Catalyzing civic media movement is our way out of the 'local news crisis'

Apr 10, 2024 | objectivejournalism.org | Janelle Salanga |Darryl Holliday |Gabe Schneider |Mike Rispoli

We are at a pivotal moment. A shift in the tone and tenor of the conversation around the “local news crisis” has been happening for years, due much in part to the continued growth of the civic media space and the perpetual decline of the commercial newspaper business.
