AllSides Website
You will consult the AllSides website throughout this module, exploring several pages. This website specializes in identifying sources as left-leaning, centrist, right-leaning, or in-between (and you are free to disagree!). It also offers information on identifying many types of biases and understanding how language and photographs are used to appeal to certain audiences. During this module, you will be instructed to consult the following:
- How to Spot 16 Types of Media Bias from AllSides
- Media bias ratings from AllSides for over 1400 sources
- Topics and issues recently in the news on the AllSides website
- AllSides headline roundups (for choosing topics)
- How AllSides rates media bias
- “Filter Bubbles” by AllSides
- The red-blue translator from AllSides describes how terms and language can mean potentially different things to different audiences
