Аннотация

This article analyses the concept of objectivity is central to all forms of journalism, although its role in traditional war reporting has been a subject of complex and continuous debate. A significant criticism to fundamen- tal journalistic standards is associated with ambiguous levels of neutrality in the coverage of conflicts. War correspondents reporting from conflict- ridden parts of the world tend to draw a moral equivalence between the event’s main victims and culprits, which lead to an abandonment of objec- tivity and impartiality. Consequently, a professional war reporter confronts a serious dilemma in order to portray a fair, balanced and impartial picture of war.
