Media Litteracy

"Media Literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media in a variety of forms."

*Essential to the group project

 

  • What makes something 'true'?
    • Authority?
    • Consensus?
    • Reason?
    • Reflective? (subjective)
  • What do you do already to check if news "real"?
  • How do you identify bias?

Good faith biases

Good-faith: Honest and sincere intention to find truth with you.

  • Coverage bias & Curation bias
    • Incomplete list of missing data sets
  • Concision Bias

  • Lie by omission
    • Narrative/Agenda bias
    • Misrepresentation
