The Media Drop

Indiana’s WNDU posts a report by Jennie Runevitch about a panel discussion earlier this week at the University of Notre Dame that focused on media bias. The primary result was that transparency is key in getting rid of biases, perceived or otherwise. One point made by the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Monica Yant Kinney I believe is very important - “distinguishing commentary from reporting.” When news programs aren’t clarifying one from the other, viewers are left in the dark - and not everyone is always able to discern what is absolute “news” and what is opinion and discussion.
