“Thanks to coronavirus, online school could be a big part of our future”
“Many schools and children facing psychological difficulties with online learning experts say:”
Both of these headlines I thought regarding a very current issue and one of its impacts on my life. When coming up with these two headlines I wanted to consider different types of bias. In the first headline, I used bias by spin, taking a different perspective on an issue and choosing to present it in such a way. However, with the second headline, apart from also using a bit of bias by spin, I also opted to use bias by selection with the addition of “experts say”. This type of bias is when writers choose specific research or evidence to back up their point of view and don’t necessarily express both sides of the argument.
