ABSTRACT Objective reporting was once among the foundational norms of U.S. journalism. The emergence of alternative and economically successful partisan models exemplified by Fox News, talk radio, and a range of online sources has forced reconsideration of this norm. In this paper I argue that responsible reporting can also be partisan; the proper standard is not (putative) objectivity, but a commitment to fulfill the public’s right to know through accurate and comprehensive reporting. I further argue, however, that the embrace of partisanship fulfills the public good only if, first, it meets the accurate and comprehensive standards and, second, there is a wide range of sources so that committed news consumers can gain an appropriately broad perspective.

党派新闻，客观神话和负责任的新闻标准

摘要客观报道曾经是美国新闻业的基本准则之一。福克斯新闻，脱口秀电台和一系列在线资源举例说明了另类经济上成功的党派模式，这迫使人们重新考虑这一规范。在本文中，我认为负责任的报告也可以是党派的。适当的标准不是（假定的）客观性，而是对通过准确而全面的报告实现公众知情权的承诺。但是，我进一步指出，党派关系的拥抱只有在首先满足准确和全面的标准，其次才有广泛的消息来源，使忠实的新闻消费者能够获得适当的广泛视野的情况下，才能实现公共利益。
