PUBLIC OPINION: How Real Advocacy Journalism™ Should Be Practiced
There is a
growing, if not urgent, need to understand the difference between the advocacy
journalism being practiced in today’s political environment and the Real Advocacy Journalism™ that is
needed. More importantly, we all need to
readily recognize when one or the other is at play in trying to influence
public opinion, or urge a hopeful, trusting public to action. The author
revisits the works of Walter Lippmann, one of the foremost advocate journalists
of the last 100 years for a roadmap on to recognize it and know the difference.
Complex local,
regional, national, and global issues are often covered and treated with a
biased and simplistic approach. This happens all too frequently when the public
is asked to form an opinion or support an action about issues such as: should
we go to war or support a war; what is the appropriate health care policy for
the majority of citizens; how can gun violence be curbed; what are the
distinctions between terrorism, foreign or homegrown; is climate change a real
threat to civilization or a man-made hoax; and, on and on….
Shaping Public Opinion will have special resonance with
journalists, political columnists/commentators, pundits, political leaders,
other influencers of public opinion, the professors who teach and the students
who study them as well as citizens who are concerned about the trajectory and
course of our national and international political dialogue.
