Bias in Journalism

               To be Bias is to be opinionated and choose sides. Being bias in Journalism is not good Journalistic Integrity. If you are Bias in Journalism then people might not want to read your article because they might not have the same opinion as you. To be unbias in Journalism is a good idea becuase if you just state the facts more people will be able to relate to the article.

               If you write an article about a recent 49ers against Raiders game and say Alex Smith scored a winning touchdown, that is fine but if you say, the 49ers won while the Raiders were sucking the whole time then that is being bias and maybe even untruthful. To avoid being Bias don't stereotype by race, age, gender, social status, or physical appearrance.

              

                Bias is important to this class because if we want to write articles we should know that there are rules and that we should always be honest. I will try to be unbias in whatever I write by telling the full story with only facts and no opinions. I will support both sides of the story. I will not be bias in Journalism.
