Free essays and podcast episodes are published every Tuesday, and paid subscribers receive an additional essay and episode on Thursdays. Within the world of journalism, objectivity tends to be a celebrated pursuit. Reporting the news is about presenting facts, along with some portion of the context in which those facts exist. That often means a presentation of narrative alongside other frames of reference, but unless the journalist is operating as an editorialist—someone who presents opinions about the news, rather than just presenting the news itself—the aim is generally to convey these things without added distortion.
