Read this piece about who prefers impartial news about 40 countries published by @niemanlab.org. The story features a recent article by our lecturer @camilambpp.bsky.social.

Nieman Lab @niemanlab.org · Apr 8

Journalists have endless debates about the meaning of words like “impartial” and “objective” and “balanced,” but it’s rare to have this large of a sample of how audiences think about them.

buff.ly/bcj06kN

Which types of people aren’t big fans of “impartial” news? People who don’t have power

A new study finds that the poor, those with less education, young people, and women are less likely to prefer "impartial" news sources over those that align with their own views.

Photos of two black & white posters from the original Edinburgh Women’s Committee Zero Tolerance campaign. First poster shows a comfortable living room, a white woman sitting on the floor reading a magazine, accompanied by words: She lives with a successful businessman, loving father and respected member of the community. Last we he hospitalised her.” with the distinctive white Z on a black background of the Zero Tolerance campaign. The other poster shows a group of young women of mixed ethnicity in a relaxed group environment. Text reads: when they say no they mean no. Some men don’t listen.’ Again accompanied by the white Z.
