Understanding this quote
The quote presents journalism as a practice of reconsideration. A journalist should create distance from an initial view, set aside personal prejudices, and examine the subject again with fresh attention. “Take two steps back” is a comparison for gaining perspective, not physically retreating. The aim is to replace quick judgment with a more open and careful look.
