View From Nowhere

Jay Rosen's gloss of pseudo-objective journalism.

Originally: The View from Nowhere is a book by philosopher Thomas Nagel. Published by Oxford University Press in 1986, it contrasts passive and active points of view in how humanity interacts with the world, relying either on a subjective perspective that reflects a point of view or an objective perspective that takes a more detached perspective.[1] Nagel describes the objective perspective as the "view from nowhere", one where the only valuable ideas are ones derived independently.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_View_from_Nowhere
