AviA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.

Short Answer
1. The purpose of the news media is to provide unbiased information about local and global events to inform the masses. However, political bias has had an impact on the media, affecting the way events are reported. In what ways does the media inform citizens? What might be the impact of biased reporting? Is bias possible to avoid? Why or why not?
Teaching Suggestion: This prompt introduces the theme Truth Versus Perception. Before beginning, you may want to use a hand-raising or digital survey to ask students to show which media they use—television, social media, newspaper—to receive their news. Then, you could briefly discuss how each medium delivers information in different ways.
