Whenever I do a workshop there's always one person who writes everything in first person. And I always use that as an example of what not to do as a story isn't about what the author feels or believes.
Just wondering, Benton. Would you say that journalistic decisions about what facts to include in a story or not, and further editorial decisions about what to include or not, could embed a viewpoint in journalism which was not "opinion"--even if only facts are reported in the article/report?
Also, if you think that is possible, is it possible that it could occur without journalists/editors being conscious of it?
