In this lesson, you will explore how the media can influence the way people see the world. You’ll learn what media bias means and how it appears in news articles, social media posts, and other sources of information. Through examples and discussion, you’ll discover different types of bias—such as word choice, selection of facts, and omission—and learn how these can shape public opinion. You’ll also practice using key vocabulary related to journalism and critical thinking. By the end of the lesson, you’ll be more aware of how to identify bias and evaluate information more objectively when reading or watching the news.
