The Passive Voice in the Newsroom

The need for brevity competes with the need for nuance and how that can actually unintentionally lead to a more inaccurate reporting. Sometimes it's even driven by a desire to not seem opinionated or biased, which means this is a conversation that's been going on for years now around the sort of myth of objectivity and media. And I'm hoping that a report like this can help start conversations between journalists and editors about what are the next steps in terms of best practices.
