On objectivity, neutrality, and integrity in covering the Atlantic Yards
NYC Independent Media Center
Norman Oder participated in a panel at last week's Grassroots Media Conference where he spoke about where he fits in to the media coverage of Atlantic Yards as an experienced journalist and regular blogger.
I’m the most mainstream person sitting on this panel, and I don’t think there’s a contradiction between using mainstream training and experience in the service of grassroots media.
In fact, I think that grassroots media, held to professional standards, can be more intellectually honest and more responsible than the mainstream media.
I try to read everything. I read all the press. I read the documents regarding Atlantic Yards. There's lots of information in documents. That was the lesson from I.F. Stone in the 1950s and that's still true today.
