How is the media, biased, more towards progressive-liberal values, conservative values or in both directions depending on the specific media outlets you may access?

It has long been argued, particularly by conservatives, that there is a liberal bias in the mass media. On the other hand, progressives and liberals counter that conservative media has its own bias and that conservative media spends most of its time trying to invoke fear and division in the general public. With these two points of view in mind, please respond to the following question.

Assignment:

(1) How is the media, biased, more towards progressive-liberal values, conservative values or in both directions depending on the specific media outlets you may access? Explain your response.

(2) Find two or more examples of media bias (video clip, article, images) and attach to your Dropbox submission. Explain in detail how these example/s represent media bias and the impact that it has on public opinion. As part of your research and examination of media bias include recent polling data results showing the public’s confidence in the objectivity or fairness of the media. Provide an Internet citation for each polling source discussed.

The focus should be on analysis and recommendations while minimizing a repeat of case data.

Critical Thinking and Reflection

You can pick 3 out of those 4 topics listed below to write. Each topic is a different paper and each paper has 300 words minimum.

Topic 1: What is your responsibility for creating a positive work and educational environment for your peers and colleagues? How do/should we promote a harassment-free campus?

Topic 2: Young women continue to remain uninformed and disempowered regarding sexuality. Do you agree? What might it mean for young women to be empowered regarding their sexuality?

Topic 3: Abortion is very controversial subject. Some scholars, like Carol Sanger, suggest that public discourse about abortion has reduced the complexity of the issue to an either/or, “life” or “choice,” conversation. Imagine that you are entering a dialogue with individuals that might not necessarily hold the same views you do about abortion. Describe how you would engage in a dialogue that would grapple with the lived complexity of abortion instead of reducing the conversation to a “yes or no” position. What issues might you discuss? How would you approach the overall conversation?

Topic 4: Imagine you are an American feminist increasingly concerned about the global impact of COVID-19 on women in terms of education, access to healthcare, and employment. How do your advocate for/with global women while respecting/embracing their differences? Abu-Lughod would remind us that women do not need “saving.” What might global advocacy look like with this in mind?
