📰 In today’s world, journalism is no longer required to be factual. Media bias and sponsored narratives manipulate our thoughts, shaping our perceptions in subtle yet powerful ways. One of the most glaring examples of intentional media censorship is the Jeffrey Epstein case. 🕵️♂️ 🗣️ We the people must fight for justice, transparency, and accountability. It’s time to demand truthful reporting and hold media outlets accountable for their narratives. Together, we can push back against biased journalism and reclaim our right to unbiased information. 📢✊ 🔍 Dive deeper into this issue and join the conversation. Let’s stand together for a future where truth and transparency prevail. #MediaBias #Journalism #MediaAccountability #FightForJustice #TransparencyMatters #JeffreyEpstein #Censorship #TruthMatters #UnbiasedNews #MarkStross #DigitalAwareness #SpeakTheTruth #EthicalJournalism #DemandTransparency #InformedCitizens #ExposeTheTruth #JusticeForAll #NewsIntegrity #StopMediaBias #InformationIsPower

This is an excellent piece that makes a serious attempt to quantify media bias (always somewhat in the beholder's eye) in US news. Apologies if it's behind a paywall. #media #mediarelations #journalism #mediabias #politics #corporatecommunications #financialcommunications

I have to admit, I never thought that much about the "behind-the-scenes" at NPR, or how it's changed over the years. But there's some interesting notes in here about journalism, its function in challenging times, how politics can infiltrate objective reporting, the value of including diverse viewpoints in stories and what "representing America" means. It's not quite alarm-sounding or whistle-blowing, but it is airing some of the network's not-so-fresh laundry. And it's interesting to consider the role of political overcorrectness that may have helped us get here. (in The Free Press) https://lnkd.in/gVb9gjPz

Media plays a pivotal role in shaping our societal norms, and for Best-Case Scenario, a Spitfire project, we're passionate about fostering safe and constructive civic spaces. We recently sat down with journalists and activists to explore effective strategies to promote civil discourse over discord. Here are some key insights we discovered: Understand Journalists: Reporters are not just storytellers; they're humans with a job to inform and engage. By recognizing their constraints and interests, we can assist them in portraying stories accurately. Find the Angle: Civil discord often grabs headlines, but stories of civil discourse are equally important. Work with media to find an angle that brings these narratives to light and widening the scope of media coverage. Build Strong Relationships: Collaboration is key! By forging strong bonds with journalists and providing them with valuable resources and sources, we can shape the narrative towards constructive dialogue. Understand the context of violence: Advocate for responsible reporting and provide guidelines to mitigate the normalization of violence. Also understand that journalists face threats themselves. Amplifying The Positive: When the media gets it right, it's crucial to acknowledge and amplify their efforts. Positive reinforcement encourages more responsible journalism. Let's work together to reshape the media landscape and promote a culture of understanding and empathy.
