What is NOT one of the five types of bias identified by The News Literacy Project?

A news editor can promote certain stories by featuring them prominently (on the front page or at the top of a website) while “burying” other stories that reflect another point of view.

The word choices a journalist makes or the tone a newscaster adopts can manipulate the public’s reaction to a news story. Loaded or sensational words can elicit a positive or negative emotional response.

A news story might present only one side of a story and omit facts or other details that support a different viewpoint.

This bias occurs when a news outlet only runs stories that reflect a particular point of view.

A type of bias in which journalists’ perceptions of an event or development as a major, important story can cause them to miss key details and misrepresent key facts.

A type of bias in which a journalist or news outlet tries so hard to avoid appearing biased to anyone that the coverage actually misrepresents the facts.

A type of bias in which a journalist’s political views affect news coverage.

A type of bias in which the business or advertising interests of a news outlet, or its parent company, influence how — or even whether — a story is reported.

A type of bias in which race, gender, ethnicity or other factors — such as culture or economic class — affect news coverage.
