Veteran journalist Christiane Amanpour emphasizes the importance of truth over neutrality in journalism, asserting that her reporting focuses on factual narratives rather than ideological bias. In a recent interview, she addressed accusations of partisanship by highlighting that her work is defined by objectivity and truth. During discussions, she raises important ethical questions regarding neutrality in contexts of injustice. Amanpour actively encourages emerging journalists to combat misinformation, maintaining that truth must be grounded in evidence. Her commitment has drawn criticism but fuels important conversations on journalistic integrity today.
To be honest Oliver, I never hear myself being called partisan... I tell the truth and the stories from around the world... My bars are truthful not neutral and get it right.
We are not impartial and we should not be... what if World War II was about to explode; would we say we're impartial to the Nazis' desire to overrun the world?
Truth is empirical, evidentiary, and factual, and I reject the idea that it could be subjective.
I urge young journalists to hold the line against false equivalence and disinformation.
