Problem: While the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protects the right of journalists to gather and report information, it does not require them to be objective in their writing. If it did, American news consumers would not have experienced the eras of Yellow Journalism, Gonzo Journalism, muckraking, the penny press, or the sensationalism we still see today. Why is it that the First Amendment is not more specific about what it requires in "published" content? Objectivity is but one standard that has been applied by the American news media to their work, usually to basic hard news stories or what some call "straight" news reporting. It is not a mandated format for all newswriting. Interpretative news reports, which some call news analysis, is another format used by American news media. It has become more prominent since the emergence of news reports on social media and 24/7 cable news reports before that. But it, too, is not a mandated format for newswriting.
