How can you spot bias in a newspaper ?

1. Bias through pictures/graphics - camera angles, captions.

                                                                                 2. Word choice and tone in the body of the text.

 









 3. Choice of journalist and sources - who is writing it and what are their beliefs and who have they got the information from.

4. Where is the article in the paper? is it prominent or hidden? 

5. Bias through omission or selection - whether an article is even published or not (e.g. gatekeeper)

                                                                                     





6. Bias through headline.

7.Bias by use of names and titles ('terrorist' or 'freedom fighter' or 'ex-con' or 'someone who served a sentence a long time ago'

8. Bias through statistics and crowd counts.
