English 102: College Writing (Prof. Ivanova): Recommended News Sources

Bias and Reliability

A news source may lean left or right, yet still considered reliable if it is not leaning to the extreme. Reliability is a function of fact checking and correcting errors in reporting when caught, but also a function of representing multiple perspectives and viewpoints - which an extremely biased news source, journalist or editor will fail to do.

Use the two Media Bias Check sites to evaluate your media sources. The three sets below are provided as examples and starting points.
