the new media has the potential to satisfy these textbook functions. They provide unprecedented access to information and can reach even audience members through personalized, peer-to-peer channels, like Facebook. Thus increase the objectivity of the media and information provided to the public

Hi,

It all depends on the regime where the media is publishing news. But the media, even in democracies where the freedom of the press is supposed to reign, is not clean of "fake news" and one sided information.That is because the mass media, like any other business , is subject to market influences.

I think the question is confusing. The first thing I ask myself is: What are the new media? o Who has done the classification ?. The second has to do with the concept of objectivity. Is there objectivity? Can there be objectivity in a means of communication?

We must go back to basics and not forget that there is an intentionality behind everything. Nor should we forget that any company, including the "new media", has an economic / commercial commitment, rather than that of informing.

I guess so. The interactivity of new media does provide more chances for the common public to express their ideas which leaves less margin for obvious bias. However, the problem is partial truth may cause more trouble for the public, as news agents nowadays always do not have enough time to cover the whole story.

Obviously yes. The effectiveness has been soaring these days.

There is no doubt that news in the new media is deeper and more accurate than other news in traditional media, widely open to all possibilities and that freedom of expression is too great and not subject to the effects steps

New media platforms (including social media) extend media and public agenda. Therefore, information flow is more dynamic and multidimentional thus the degree of media participation of the public is relatively high. Nevertheless, it must be taken into consideration that new media still have visible elements of traditional media, hence the objectivity is transmitted from traditional media outlets to new communication spaces. In my opinion "new media" do not have any specific impact on the information objectivity. New media accelerate a processess of getting news but also (on the other hand) cause fragmentation of relatively concentrated peoples' opinions. According to that (this bias) information objectivity can be elusive for researcher. Multiplicity of public opinions can affects some difficulties when it comes to catching the objective news and non-objective ones. It would be difficult to close objectivity in one individual meaning, because of thousands of individuals.

Actually I am a little bit puzzled with regard to this question. In my opinion the core of the media objectivity lies not in the notion "new media coverage" itself which is the final product of journalists daily routine but more in journalistic workshop and professionalism. We should distinguish two basic things here: 1) professional autonomous new media outlets traditional media outlets and 2) blogs and non-professional news websites. Nevertheless it all depends on political pressures, demands from editors, fundings etc..

I agree with Jacek Nozhevwki. I want to add that new media change communication models. They become those in which the interactions between the participants are leading, "from many to many". Everyone can generate content, share, criticize, etc. The theory of the Agenda setting changes by customizing the content, we can talk about multiple personal "settings".

the new media has the potential to satisfy these textbook functions. They provide unprecedented access to information and can reach even audience members through personalized, peer-to-peer channels, like Facebook. Thus increase the objectivity of the media and information provided to the public

The fact that new media information speeds the distraction of public opinion can make it difficult for researchers to access information objectivity. But there are many ways to get through this huge amount of information, presenting these topics, for example, on several new media: YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and others.

I definitely agree with Avishag Gordon that it all depends on particular regime. As researchers we can only obtain information about peoples` perception which is subjective side of things. The news objectivity or media objectivity can be elusive because of different standards in different countries. Of course these professional standards can vary in different conditions of specific media and political systems. and can change under economical, political, cultural circumstances. There is no any one clear and universal notion of objectivity I think. We have great example of objectivity diversity in Poland. It is observable in TVP (public television) and TVN (commercial television). These two media outlets present different sides of "truth" supporting the Law and Justice party (ruling one) or Civic Coalition (Civic Platform and Nowoczesna. parties, opposition). It is more on the principle of a theorem that my truth is more true. That is why it can be difficult to "catch the exact meaning" of objective media coverage. The problem with defining that something is objective or not is the same as categorizing of hard news and soft news :)

define new media, first. if new media mean social media, objectivity could be yes and no at the same time. social media have provided opportunity for people to be instant journalists due to easy access and control. information is much faster to distribute an to consume: yes...but accuracy and objectivity would be NO. the main issue in new media is gate-keeping process in which news is quite well filtered before being distributed to public (as mainstream media do). in new media, people can be producer and gate keeper at the same time.

The issue of the relationship between the media and the platforms of social media is complementary, as these platforms increase the importance of the media, pointing out that there is no so-called new or old media. The media itself has not changed but the tools and vectors have been renewed. As for the negatives and advantages of the social networking platforms, the advantages of speed of access to information, the elimination of geographical barriers and distances, and the social or humanitarian face of the events. While I consider that the disadvantages of these means are dealing with them as a reliable source of information; and the use of tools to spread rumors or spread hatred, sedition and fanaticism. In addition to the use of these platforms to practice the prostitution of media through the fabrication of rumors and deal with them as facts

Coincido con Jacek Nozhevwki, pero además me parece que es necesario precisar qué se entiende por objetividad. Para mi ésta no existe tal cual. Yo prefiero hablar de "veracidad", entendida como un esfuerzo del profesional de la información para incluir en sus mensajes los elementos esenciales de la misma. Sin embargo, ello depende de los conocimientos sobre el tema, el acceso a los datos, la capacitad de síntesis y el manejo del lenguaje. Finalmente, es inevitable, pese a ello, que todo se haga desde la propia cosmovisión. En cambio, en los nuevos medios -si por ellos entendemos las redes sociales- lo que prevalece es la subjetividad y la emoción. No hay profesionalismo en general. Sin embargo, estos medios pueden ayudar a acceder a nuevos datos que deben ser verificados, pues entre mayor es el conflicto social, más abundan las noticias falsas. Esto constituye una oportunidad para el periodismo profesional de superarse, incrementar la veracidad de su información y ser el contraste con los nuevos medios. En ésto radica, desde mi punto de vista, el asegurar la subsistencia del periodismo llamado tradicional, que es el profesional.

Objectivity does not exist. What journalism should aspire to is balance.

I think that what is meant by objectivity in the new and traditional media is professional and responsible in the first place. Yellow newspapers have nothing to do with objectivity, honesty or transparency, Especially for the purchase of receivables for gatekeepers and those who maintain this or that media. It allows for the emergence of false information covering all mass media.

If there is a consensus in understanding the picture of the world, then a relative conventional achievement of objectivity is possible. Strictly at a certain historical interval.

In my opinion, we can talk about the discrete principles of objectivity.

Following

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Adopting objectivity and credibility in media work is more appropriate in practice and practice in countries with a pluralistic democratic system that respects freedom of expression and credibility, and their media is independent and not subject to authority, including new media, but there is no objective, impartial or fully impartial media on all issues and attitudes, bias is a human feature that cannot be deprived of media.

there is so much subjectivity in crafting social media messages

What is the new media coverage?

It is the reporting of physically existent news coupled and compounded by the exhausted and tumultuous opinions of news anchors and personalities.

Does the new media increase the objectivity of the media and information provided to the public?

What is objectivity?

Objectivity is the logically sound analysis realistically and a pragmatically constructed phenomena to include all that is absolutely existent, conclusive, true, and real.

What is the old media coverage?

It is the reporting of physically existent news coupled and compounded by the exhausted and tumultuous opinions of news anchors and personalities as well.

So, is the media in the business (no pun intended) of fostering the ideals of many of the population's majority of political opinions, in order to promote their industrial purposes? Yes, because competition in modern society as pertaining to television hosts, personalities, companies, and news anchors is extremely prevalent.

So, in order to answer this question effectively, we need to evaluate the population size of all political party affiliates. Since I don't have this information right now, to answer your question, the increase of objectivity simply depends on the most common political party people affiliate and identify with in the US.

If that major population consists of either Democrats or Republican, your answer is no.

If that population consists of independent voters, your answer would be yes.

Mohammed Habes I think that new media coverage changed media landscape with freedom of news flow and this may be useful for objectivity, audience today have a various sources of news and information and with these sources he can determine accurateness, credibility and objectivity of source. in addition, new media created media sources have no benefits or business purposes like citizen journalist write and post on his page just for deliver news and information.

Dear Abdelmohsen Okela Abdelmohsen Okela Agree with you on the side, but I disagree with you that the spread of new media has given objectivity and credibility to the news, because of the spread of rumors and gave the opportunity for each platform (new media) broadcast news to achieve their interests and not the real objective transfer.

Mohammed Habes I agree with you, and I think that new media harms journalists objectivity and decrease it , because they are writing about their political and Religious beliefs on social networks. When you check any account in social media for journalist you often read in his profile this account express about my personal opinion and this out of objectivity, a lot of journalists’ opinions in contrary to his news institution opinion. But objectivity of media organizations is absent in traditional media and new media either
