Remove Underlinked header?[edit]

Added links to two particularly related concepts, Overton Window and Filter Bubble. Added See Also section. Does this merit removing the Underlinked header? cshirky (talk) 03:25, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For journalists covering Trump, a Murrow moment
By David Mindich
July 15, 2016
... a theoretical construction of objectivity by a leading journalism historian, Daniel Hallin, who sees the world of political discourse as falling into three concentric spheres: consensus, legitimate controversy, and deviance.
The sphere of consensus is the inner circle, the place in which most people tend to agree. Most American journalists and news consumers would agree on the legitimacy of the government as embodied in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and Amendments.
The sphere of legitimate controversy includes the questions within the standard political debates: How much should the rich pay in taxes? Should the US expand offshore drilling? Is universal health care a desired outcome? Then we have deviance, the place in the diagram which falls outside the bounds of journalistic conversation. This includes issues such as: Should the US be violently overthrown? Should we ignore the Constitution?
These spheres also shift from time to time, as politicians and journalists and the public shift their views.
