With all the information that’s out there these days, it’s important to be able to recognize bias in the news. If a newspaper article is biased, this means that an unfair preference for someone or something affected the way the reporter wrote the piece. The reporter might favor one side of a debate or a particular politician, and this could cloud the reporting. Sometimes, reporters don’t even mean to be biased; they may do it by accident or because they didn’t do enough research. To wade through this kind of reporting, you’ll need to read very carefully, and you may even need to do your own research.
Different Tips in Detecting Bias
1. Read the Article Critically Reading every single word in a newspaper article can be super time consuming, but it’s worth it when you’re trying to find bias in the reporting. Biases can be really subtle and hard to catch, so pay careful attention to the entire article
2. Look at the headline Some people only read headlines, so they’re designed to communicate a clear point as quickly as possible. This means that using just a few words, most headlines make an argument. Evaluate each word to check whether they describe something positively or negatively. Ask yourself why the headline might not be totally neutral.
3. Ask yourself if the article helps or hurts anyone Look at the words used to describe the people, political issues, and events mentioned in the article. If the language makes them sound good or bad, rather than just neutral, the reporter may be trying to influence you to favor one side over another.
4. Figure out who’s reading the article Think about who typically reads this kind of article. Reporters might want to write stories that their readers will appreciate, which could lead to biased reporting. Try running a Google search to look for descriptions of the typical age, gender, racial background, income, and political leanings for the audiences of several newspapers and media outlets..
5. Look for exaggerated or colorful language Consider whether the words the reporter uses in the article are informational or emotional. Watch out any time that a word or description makes you feel a strong emotion. If overly descriptive words are used to represent a particular group of people or side of a debate, this could be an especially big red flag.
6. Identify the reporter’s tone to see how they feel about the topic Take note of any language that gives you a positive or negative feeling about information. If this emotion is coming from the way the reporter is writing the story, ask yourself why the reporter feels this way. They may be sad or happy about a particular event, or angry at someone.
7. Check out the images to look for bias Photographs, cartoons, and other images tell stories just like words. Look for the main subject in the image and think about how this person or thing looks. Take note of any shadows or colors that make the subject appear scary or triumphant. Consider how the picture makes you feel, especially if you’re suddenly feeling sympathetic toward a particular group of people or side of a political debate.
