Although this model is appealing, I argue that it is unsatisfactory; importantly, it does not allow us to properly criticize those journalists who publish true, relevant, and useful information without proper warrant or ethical backing. After discussing two recent case studies, I argue that journalism is best understood as a distinctive kind of inquiry, and that this understanding of journalism should lead us to reject any simple, factive<i data-ogsc=\"\">\u00a0<\/i>account of journalistic publication norms. I propose, instead, the Responsible-Inquiry Model of journalism, according to which the primary role of journalism in a functioning democracy is to provide people with responsibly gathered information while, in the process, serving as zetetic models. Good journalists do not only provide useful information; they also conduct (ethically\u00a0and epistemically) exemplary inquiries into the subject at hand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jacob Librizzi &#8211; W<span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">hy Metanormative Constitutivists Should be Voluntarists About Reason<\/span>s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract: <\/strong><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">For two decades, constitutivist accounts of reasons (CR) have faced the \u201cShm\u201d (or Shmagency) challenge. I argue that responses so far have misunderstood this challenge. However, by interpreting CR as a form of voluntarism, we can render the \u201cShm\u201d challenge question-begging. In doing so, we disarm the challenge once and for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location: <\/strong>Edgecliffe G03 and online on teams<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viviante Fairbank &#8211; The Responsible-Inquiry Model of Journalism Abstract: On the traditional, so-called Informational Model of journalism, the primary role of journalism in a functioning democracy is to provide people&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[20],"class_list":["post-15056","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-ceppa-talk","cat_ceppa-talk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/15056","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/15056\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15137,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/15056\/revisions\/15137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15056"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/philevents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=15056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
