Compare your findings with the evaluation of your media outlet on www.mediabiasfactcheck.com and to your own bias.

Find a news article (or video) about a current controversial topic, choosing a media outlet from the list published in the content section or of your own choice.

You can also work together: Choose a topic with a partner or as a group, and let everyone find an article or clip from a different source. Note: Each person needs to start a separate thread. Copying someone else’s ideas constitutes academic dishonesty.

Read the articles critically and look for biases, such as self-centered thinking, group-centered thinking, prejudice, racism, confirmation bias and other obstacles described in the textbook. Are the biases expressed in one or several arguments or in other ways?

Write a summary of the article and give examples of the biases. Compare your findings with the evaluation of your media outlet on www.mediabiasfactcheck.com and to your own bias.
