In light of the firing of CNN's Octavia Nasr after she shared her opinion on Twitter, we talked to the director of the Centre for Journalism Ethics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's School of Journalism and Mass Communications, Stephen Ward about the state of objectivity in today's non-stop news environment.

Listen to what he had to say, and let us know what you think... Is objectivity dead? Is objectivity what you want as a news consumer?
