When I say that the right is dominating the left on almost all platforms, this is what I mean. I hope Democratic officials take this into account every day. If you want an ecosystem that will advocate for YOU, then YOU need to help build it. Give interviews to creators, break news with creators...

🤔 It's common for people of all persuasions to say "the media" is biased against their beliefs. 1 - Why do people feel this way? 2 - And what counts as bias in news? 📌 Spend some time with our infographic, which you can also download: bit.ly/NewsMediaBias #MediaLiteracy
Text-heavy infographic organized into sections on News media bias.

Top text: People across the political spectrum often feel that “the media” is biased against their beliefs and values. But what counts as bias in news? And why do so few people feel that news coverage is slanted in their favor?

Here are 6 tips to help you think clearly about this nuanced and important topic:

1 Differentiate news from opinion

2 Think about bias as a spectrum

3 Ask yourself: Compared with what?

4 Recognize your own biases

5 Be wary of media bias charts and ratings

6 Think about bias in terms of types and forms

Different types of bias … can take different forms in coverage

TYPES
“Big story” bias
Corporate bias
Demographic bias
Neutrality bias
Partisan bias

FORMS
Absence of fairness and balance
Framing
Sourcing
Story selection
Tone 

Think you’ve spotted an example of biased news?
Double-check your initial perceptions by asking: What would “unbiased” news about this subject look like?
