Newspaper bias
How to spot bias in a newspapers
1. Bias through pictures/graphics- camera angles, captions. -> Shows how they are against Corbyn due to the bin having the connotations of rubbish therefore linking him to speaking rubbish.
2. Word choice and tone in the body of text. -> using words such as pledge and promise it highlights him as a trustworthy member of parliament.
3. Choice of journalist and sources- who is writing it and what are their beliefs, and who have they got their information from. -> Known for his fiery strong opinions, Owen Jones shows bias in his work.
4. Where is the article in the paper?- is it prominent or hidden? Front page or far back? -> On the front page of the news paper however in terms of politics, bias comes in when the favourable party is positioned at the front of the appear the 'oppositional' is at the back.
5. Bias through omission or selection- whether an article is even published or not. -> sometimes valid information ie 'the truth' is left out of articles if not positive towards the party.
6. Bias by headline -> by making the leader of the 'oppositional' party look foolish by including headlines with puns and mockery.
7. Bias by use of names and titles- ('terrorist' or 'freedom fighter'? 'ex-con' or 'someone who served a sentence a long time ago') -> Jeremy Corbyn nicknamed as 'Jezza' to appear less professional and informal
8. Bias through statistics and crowd counts ('a hundred injured in air crash' or 'only minor injuries in air crash') -> using figures puts the numbers into perspective therefore can make the parties or story appear more/ less positive.
