The Philosophy of Journalism

I recently stumbled upon this article in the Chronicle of Higher Education

We need 'philosophy' of journalism'

A comical part in the article to me was the stereotypical thoughts about philosophers being out of touch with the world (which is how I've honestly viewed them) and journalists being pompous with an 'in-you-face' personality.

Though I have never been a huge believer in philosophy, I did agree with the article. Both subjects constantly aim to seek the truth. We both cling to the facts that we do know of.

After reading the article, I thought to myself an interesting course that could be added to IC's department — if, of course, it is taught by someone who knows what he is talking about — could be the philosophy of journalism. And I'm sure at a place like IC, it'd be a popular course.
