There is bias in selection of what news to print/air as well, I think that is more of a problem than objectivity inside of articles. Balance should come from covering sides of an issue, presenting facts, but from maybe multiple angles.
Social media has brought about a factor of being first. First to report that so-and-so athlete signed with a team will trend better than an in depth or behind the scenes analysis on what happened.
Maybe news companies should form a scoring system of sorts that they will hold themselves and each other to regarding journalistic integrity/objectivity. A certification of some kind.
They could offer that to social media companies as a way to filter the un-certified junk. Some people might pay for that.
