When we speak of objective reality, we mean that “reality is that which does not disappear when one stops believing in it”. It would not be a bad idea to stop for a moment to reflect on what you have just read. Objective reality is the reality to which we have just referred.
It is that which exists regardless of whether one believes in it or not. For example, following the metric system, we can say without place to doubt a measuring 1.80m rod is longer than one that measures 1.60 m. This is true regardless of whether the observer agrees or disagrees with our statement. It is real.
The concept of objective reality is linked to objects and subjects that have physical (material) existence, beyond what a subject knows or knows about them. Objective reality, therefore, exists even when we are not aware of it.
A wooden table that is inside a house has a real existence, it belongs to objective reality. It does not matter that one, five, a hundred or a million people have no idea of their presence there: the table exists objectively.
It is possible to say that objective reality can be located in space and time, be quantifiable and capable of measurement. This reality is independent of the individual: it is always the same, regardless of who perceives it.
Objectivity is also a fundamental objective in the journalist profession when the person who works as an editor in a print or digital medium must be neutral to tell a story with objective data that is a sign of rigor that provides truthfulness to specific information. A journalist who writes an opinion piece as indicated by the name of this journalistic text is contributing his subjective opinion in a specific reality.
Like a movie critic sharing your opinion on a movie. However, when a journalist reports on an event, he or she is committed to the objectivity that is essential to have information without influencing the opinion of the reader.
