It is well-known that the media is a crucial source of information in the United States and across the globe. However, whether intended or unintended, the media often reflects certain agendas, priorities and various ideological biases. For example, in the context of American politics, the pattern of partisan polarization is evident between lean democratic and lean republican media sources; in the context of world politics, due to different ideologies, the ways how medias from different countries report the same issue are divergent. In our information-saturated age fraught with biased values and ideologies, therefore, this assignment is designed to both sharpen your discernment skills and increase your critical analysis skills. Your assignment: Choose an issue that is getting wide press coverage. Find articles on this issue in several different newspapers or magazines (at least two sources). Compare the coverage in each one, and then write an essay in which you address the following questions: What elements of coverage framed the story in different ways? Analyze the summary of the story given in the first one or two paragraphs, the quotes selected from the persons interviewed, the amount of coverage given to both sides of the issue, and the use of headlines, leads, and photographs. Which source reported the issue most fairly, in your view? Why do you think so? Give examples to support your position.
