Such a fun and invigorating day in our digital literacy class! We put our skills to the test by completing five @digitalinquirygroup assessments in a team challenge! The competition was intense! ☺️ #digitalliteracy #library #schoollibrary #librariesmatter #criticalthinking

JM: BEFORE you share an article for any purpose, be careful. Why? The people behind the article, while they try their hardest, are still people. They are subject to bias, no matter how hard they try not to be. #WhoIsBehindTheInformation @SHEG_Stanford @Checkology @NewsLitProject

NB: Disinformation is information that is deliberately designed to be false. #disinformation @Checkology @NewsLitProject

KB: OK EVERYBODY, neutrality bias is a thing! Beware, you could become biased by trying too hard to not be biased. Sometimes the facts just point one way or another! You could fall victim to neutrality bias if you're not careful! #welovedigitalliteracy @Checkology @NewsLitProject

Today what we learned in our bias video how corporate bias works. It is a type of bias in which the business or advertising interests of news outlet influence how things get reported. #corporatebias @Checkology @NewsLitProject

Colton: Wow, there's a reason digital literacy is going to be a mandatory class soon! Today I learned that there are 5 types of news bias! I've learned so much about media bias & how to spot it; could've never done it without you @Checkology @NewsLitProject #bias #digitalliteracy

KW: Not many people know this, but news organizations typically try to keep opinion and news writers distant from each other. They may even have different bosses and work on different floors. #news #opinion @Checkology @NewsLitProject

Brody: One type of bias that can affect news is neutrality bias, which is when journalists try so hard to not appear biased that their coverage misrepresents the facts of the original story #neutralitybias @Checkology @NewsLitProject

Abuk & Landon: Life experiences impact our perception which in turn impacts the way we consume information. This is why the business side and opinion sides of a news outlet don't typically work together--to stay as unbiased as possible. #unbiasedNews @Checkology @NewsLitProject

Brooke: No one is ever truly objective when writing in a public format. We all come from different backgrounds, cultures, educational levels, gender, race, and income levels. This causes a bias from one side or another. #demographicbias @Checkology @NewsLitProject
