Media Bias

Fill out the chart: K W L What do I know about media literacy? What do I want to know? What have I learned? (good place to put vocab)

Bias ˈ bīəs/ noun 1.prejudice IN FAVOR OF OR AGAINST one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be UNFAIR.

How does bias affect us? The media needs to be analyzed and questioned so we know what is true.

What do you think the media would say about each of the following pictures?

What do you think the media would say about the man in this picture?

NOW what do you think the media would say?

What do you think the media would say about the woman in this picture?

NOW what do you think the media would say?

What do you think the media would say about the couple in this picture?

NOW what do you think the media would say?

Depending on how the media wants something to be viewed, they can manipulate stories and images to influence you.

How do we know what is true? There are many RED FLAGS that help indicate a biased source.

1. Are they using an ABUNDANCE OF EXTREME WORDS to influence your emotions rather than logic?

2. Are there OMITTED FACTS that would FAVOR ONE SIDE or the other?

3. Is the INFORMATION is either OVERSIMPLIFIED OR EXAGGERATED for a more extreme reaction?

4. Does the AUTHOR HAVE ANYTHING TO GAIN if you react a certain way?

PRACTICE!!!!

2. Which of these would be the LEAST biased author? Article: The greatest achievements in pop music of today. a. Miley Cyrus b. The Spice Girls c. Yale Music Professor d. Today show host Matt Lauer

3. Which of these would be the LEAST biased source? Article: Which is the best mascara on the market. a. beauty blog by a make-up artist b. loreal.com c. Vogue magazine d. your best friend’s dad
