Journalism

Herbers, J. (1994, December, 22). Judgemental reporting. (end of journalistic objectivity) (includes related article on 1960s.... Nieman Reports, Retrieved November 26, 2008, from http://www.allbusiness.com/legal/constitutional-law-freedom-press/8014704-1.html

1960s journalism was more objective than it is today. Although it started to become more judgmental starting with the early 60s. Privacy was also respected more in the 1960s than in the 2000s. Underground press came around to become the alternative print media, independently published and distributed, associated with the countercultural movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

American Journalism Review is a national magazine that covers all aspects of print, television, radio and online media. The magazine, which is published six times a year, examines how the media cover specific stories and broader coverage trends. AJR analyzes ethical dilemmas in the field and monitors the impact of technology on how journalism is practiced and on the final product.

This chart compares circulation of newspapers from 1950 until 2004. I found in very interesting that newspaper circulation is going up for morning and Sunday editions, but circulation is down for evening editions and total morning and evening. Since this study ended in 2004, it does not take in account the past four years and the leap of computer use.
