Media coverage, unfortunately, is rarely consistent. Often, different media sources or publications have different agendas and biases, according to where they receive their funding from and/or who their intended audiences are. When something happens in our modern world, there are immediately a wide range of people trying to report on what happened, and often conflicting reports. Finding the truth can be difficult. When we interact with media sources, especially news coverage, it is important to always consider the following:
* What is this source? Where do they get their funding from? Who do they serve?
* What is the headline? What does the wording imply or make the reader think?
* What photos are used? What stories do the photos tell?
* Who is interviewed? Who is not? Use the world issue below BLM protest Then, find a minimum of two different sources writing/covering the same event. Read and analyze them carefully. Then, in a doc or slideshow:
1) Briefly explain the protest/social issue (summarize).
2) What are the key differences in how the sources you found portray the issue? Consider who is interviewed (and who is not), what the images show, how the headline is worded, etc. Consider bias of the source. Be specific.
