Language and Tone

All writing uses language, and writers make language choices to appeal to their audiences. These decisions about diction (word choice), sentence structure, ethos, pathos, and logos, and others help to create tone, and they influence how the ideas are framed. To learn more, see examples, and practice reading for tone, see this page: Language and Tone.

You will be looking at language and tone as part of media bias.
