Presentation transcript:

Think About Where do you get your news? How credible do you think most of the news is and why?

What is News? turn & discuss

Assessing the News What does it mean – assessing the news? Why can’t we just trust what we read/hear? Why is it important to know how to assess the news?

Assessing the News 3. Why is it important to know how to assess the news? Venezuela – next week North Korea – next unit (Asia) Global Conflict Research Project – right after Spring Break

Misrepresentation If it sounds too good too be true… it probably is. Sensationalist claims hidden behind credible jargon A new study shows… Experts are saying… Facts taken out of context

Media Bias Feel or show inclination or prejudice for or against someone or something. Generally leans either right or left (Conservative or Liberal)

Media Bias Examples Omission – leaving one side out of an article or a series of articles over a period of time Selection of Sources – including more sources that support one view over another Story Selection – a pattern of highlighting news stories that support one side of an issue over another Placement – the location in the paper or article where a story or event is printed; a pattern of placing news stories so as to downplay information supportive of one side

Media Bias Examples Labeling – comes in two forms: 1. Tagging of person from one party or group with extreme labels while leaving the other side unlabeled or with more mild labels. 2. A reporter not only fails to identify a liberal or conservative as such, but also describes the person or group with positive labels, such as “an expert” or “independent consumer group” Spin – occurs when the story has only one interpretation of an event or policy, to the exclusion of the other. Spin involves tone- a reporter’s subjective comments about objective facts

Ignoring Facts Tend to be extremists Goal is discredit the other side using any means Appeal to emotion Stories usually include statements that are factually incorrect and can be easily disproven
