"Just like a scientist would begin an experiment with an idea of what the outcome is going to be, a journalist often enters a story with an idea about what the story is," says Jones. "But the point of objectivity is that that doesn't matter. It has to be tested against the evidence that you can find, and then you have to tell the story straight." This Carnegie Council event took place on September 16, 2009. For complete video, audio, and transcript, go to http://www.cceia.org
