Bias through selection and omission



1) Bias through Selection and omission. (why that story was selected and has anything been left out of it)
It is positively selected as it is on the front page of the BBC news website.

2) Bias through placement (order of the stories, the more important it is, the sooner you will hear it)
The story is however second to the Mark Daggun story.

3) Bias by word choice or tone (How the phrasing of the words and the tone of writing shows in the report)
The bias this creates is  positive as it makes the four crew man sound like heros not wanting to endanger the lives of others.

4) Bias through headline (How people see the story, by how the headline is writing)

5) Bias my source control (How the people you are getting the information from e.g; Left wing politics only. You should get information from both sides of the argument.

6) Bias through photo (What types of pictures you take, how you use the pictures to portray that place or person)

7) Bias through names and titles. (How you make them sound, what names you give them e.g; selfish, gangster, marksman) is it fair to give people that title.

8) Bias through statistics and crowed counts (The way you use and phrase statistics in a report)
