Marvin Olasky Connection
In 2004 WJI came under fire and was challenged by some critics to cut its ties with Olasky after "USA Today reporter Jack Kelley, had been scheduled to speak at an institute luncheon around the time the newspaper's investigation of Kelley's fabricated stories concluded. Soon, questions were raised about other institute guest instructors. A large part of the criticism stem from World magazine's directed reporting philosophy, which call on Christian journalists to "'report biblically,' not objectively." (Christianity Today 6/11/04). (Olasky distinguished "biblical objectivity" from "conventional objectivity," which he said had become a "balancing of subjectivities.") WJI did reorganize its mission and philosophy but without cutting ties with Olasky.
