Let’s be truthful

June 28, 2010

The truth is a big concept. Sometimes, we can’t handle the truth. Sometimes we need the truth. But at the heart of any journalistic endeavor is the truth, however we care to define it. Well, I’m going to give it a shot this week with a series of posts about “the truth,” including what it means in terms of the work that journalists do.

And to start off, a quick clip to get us in the mood to talk about the truth.

Part 1: Getting ready for the truth

Part 2: The philosophical debate about the concept of truth

Part 3: Defining “journalistic truth”

Part 4: The blurring lines of news and propaganda

Part 5: Welcome to the era of “truthiness”
