The evolution of objectivity

I was really intrigued by Carey's discussion of how the telegraph created a need for objectivity (see page 210). Until I read this I hadn't ever thought so concretely about how technology changes what Carey calls "the nature of awareness" (210). As he explains at the end of the chapter, all technological change will continue to have implications for our awareness. If the telegraph created the need for uniform and objective news, does the web highlight the problematic nature of objectivity? I think of how the web allows for everyone to create news (ie. blogs and independent media). There is no longer a necessity for a uniform "'scientific' language" because there is not such a strict limit on space. If someone doesn't want to read one thing they can simply get their news elsewhere. Carey writes that the telegraph "separated the observer from the writer;" has the web made the conflation of the two possible?
