COMM 202 WTCC Wk 8 Brian Williams the Former Anchor of NBC Nightly News Discussion – Description
reply to this post with your response to the following questions:
Provide an example of some form of misrepresentation in media over the years (such as staging news, re-creations, selective editing, image or text manipulation, information distortion, fiction, selection editing, bias, etc.). Give some background for context and answer: Why, in your opinion, is this an example of misrepresentation? Why is it egregious? How does bias play a role in this example’s misrepresentation? Provide the link to the example.
Both conservative and liberal sides claim that there is media bias (to the other side of their beliefs) yet, it is evident that there is bias on both sides. It is no secret that the traditional views of the following 3 media outlets are as follows: Fox News–Conservative/Right, MSNBC–Liberal/Left, CNN–Moderate.
A) Track a relatively current news story and report to the class the way the 3 media outlets presented the story. Were there surprises to you in your findings?
B) Also pick one additional media outlet of your choice (perhaps NPR, or BBC) and look at their perspective of the same story.
