Doesn't matter what side of the aisle you are on, you think the media has it all wrong. Possibly, all sides have it wrong. Possibly, we're forgetting that the media is owned by people who are trying to profit from their delivery of the news. Okay. I will get on with it. I am crunched for time here, so my previous solution was another webquest. I don't have the heart. My webquests are massive. (I am working on making this purchasable for those of you who are interested. Will be up shortly.) So, I made a Prezi. Some things I didn't throw in here, but thought they might be good resources for you... 1.) Freepress.net has a Media Policy 101 website that covers bias. If I had more time, I would try to work it in. 2.) I also love this Media Spin Cycle infographic to cover this material. 3.) I heard this interview of liberal Joe Muto, formally a fact checker on Fox New's O'Reilly Factor. He has some great insight to discuss bias at Fox News only. Obviously, he is not commenting on liberal bias at MSNBC or CNN. 4.) I take my kids to the Newseum in D.C. for more detail on bias, ethics, and other assorted media issues. However, they have great classroom resources for you if you are not close by, including their digital classroom. 5.) Here is a great overview of how newspapers are formatted from the Washington Post's Newspaper in Education website.

AuthorI lovgov. LOVE IT! I love teaching government, learning about it, debating, discussing, asking questions about government. And not the standard boiler plate questions, but the hard ones that are NOT in the books. Archives
