Media Accuracy, Media Bias, and Media Trends

"The Center for News Literacy defines journalism as 'a process of verification that aims to confirm or establish facts.' Journalists are held to a code of ethics, which requires verification of facts, independence from interest groups, accountability and willingness to correct errors. Understanding these qualities and types of news content may help you to identify and evaluate news organizations." --- UC Libraries

"Not all information is created equal. Remember: Anyone with Internet access can publish on the Web. There is no editor, fact checker, or peer review process for the 'free' content that is available on the visible web." --- UW Libraries
