Independence vs. Isolation• Journalistic independence
• Independence for its own sake
• Disengagement from the community
• A change in journalism’s tone
(more subjective and judgmental)
• Mediating instead of simply reporting

Loyalty in a Global Age
To whom, or what, should the journalist be
loyal?Does he or she owe a primary loyalty to the
country of citizenship? To the military? To the audience?
(And, if so, to which members of which
audience?)
