Media Bias:

Media bias oc­curs when a news out­let shows clear pre­fe­rence for one side of an ar­gu­ment, a po­li­ti­cal party, or an event. This can be sub­t­le or ex­pli­cit, and often hap­pens th­rough the choice of words, images, or facts that are pre­sen­ted—or omit­ted. While bias skews the in­ter­pre­ta­ti­on of events, it doesn’t al­ways mean the in­for­ma­ti­on is false, but that it is framed in a way to pro­mo­te a spe­ci­fic view­point.

Ob­jec­ti­ve Re­por­ting:

Ob­jec­ti­ve re­por­ting pres­ents in­for­ma­ti­on wit­hout bias. It in­vol­ves pro­vi­ding facts and re­pre­sen­ting dif­fe­rent per­spec­ti­ves fair­ly, wit­hout fa­vor­ing one side over the other. While com­ple­te ob­jec­ti­vi­ty is dif­fi­cult to achie­ve, the goal is to give the au­di­ence a ba­lan­ced and ac­cu­ra­te ac­count.

Sub­jec­ti­ve Re­por­ting:

Sub­jec­ti­ve re­por­ting re­flects per­so­nal opi­ni­ons or in­ter­pre­ta­ti­ons of an event. Com­mon in com­men­ta­ry, edi­to­ri­als, or opi­ni­on pieces, it can pro­vi­de in­si­ght but does not aim for neu­tra­li­ty. Sub­jec­ti­ve re­por­ting is not neces­sa­ri­ly bia­sed, but it open­ly ack­now­led­ges a per­so­nal per­spec­ti­ve, which makes it dif­fe­rent from news re­por­ting that aims for ob­jec­ti­vi­ty.

Fake News:

Fake news re­fers to false or de­li­bera­te­ly mis­lea­ding in­for­ma­ti­on that is pre­sen­ted as fact. This can in­clu­de com­ple­te­ly fa­bri­ca­ted sto­ries, ex­a­g­ge­ra­ted de­tails, or ma­ni­pu­la­ted facts to decei­ve the au­di­ence. Un­li­ke bia­sed or sub­jec­ti­ve re­por­ting, fake news in­ten­ti­o­nal­ly distorts the truth.
