Bob Geldof and the BBC boys club
Is objectivity in journalism dead, or was it never really possible? Lara Pawson an author, freelancer, former BBC Journalist and Foreign correspondent says No it is not. Lara tells a story of how she went into Angola with an almost romantic view of life where she believed in objectivity and that reporting could make a real difference, but it seems as if living there and working in the industry shattered her illusions and left her thinking that objectivity is not possible.
