I am using specific examples in contemporary journalism as case studies to support Wittgenstein\u2019s arguments for meaning in language. Looking at issues of bias, the \u2018spin\u2019 of particular words used, and how we can pertain towards \u2018objective truth\u2019. As a solution to the problem I assess the possibility of  a \u2018perfect language\u2019. However this is then refuted in terms of its lack of ability to be implemented. Essentially, all knowledge and truth is determined by one\u2019s social context (language game) and within a given system, we can have a relatively objective view of a general consented to \u2018shared reality\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emily James, 2012, Stage 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8792,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[592,22,123],"tags":[603,247,227],"class_list":["post-2039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-592","category-abstracts","category-stage-3-abstracts","tag-bias","tag-journalism","tag-truth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8792"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2039\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/philosophy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
