Media Bias and Propaganda

Option #1: Media Bias and Propaganda

Directions:
Using the concepts learned through the readings and lecture pages, select a social issue or ethical dilemma in the news. Find three recent articles on the issue and then answer the following questions:
*What assumptions do you make about these articles before reading them? How is your mind already “at work”?
*What evidence of bias can you find in the articles selected? *What is the point of view expressed (if there is one) by the article?
*How do the stories favor privileged views?
*What is a peer-reviewed source? What peer-reviewed sources did you find that helped in thinking critically about your issue?

Requirements:

Cite all claims and ideas using scholarly sources. While it is acceptable to write in the first person, be sure to cite your sources to support your inferences.
Include at least one or two scholarly sources that are not required or recommended readings for this course. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these sources.
Your paper should be four to five pages in length and formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA.
Papers should be double-spaced, 12-point font Times New Roman.
