Understanding how bias shows up in news and media — in framing, word choice, and what's left out — without needing a media studies degree.
Bias in media rarely looks like an outright lie — it's usually in framing, word choice, and what gets left out entirely, which makes it harder to spot than obvious misinformation. This guide teaches readers to recognize those subtler patterns.
Inside: how framing and headline choices shape a story before you've read a word of it, spotting what's missing from a story, not just what's included, recognizing that every source has some point of view, including ones you agree with, and reading across multiple sources to get a fuller picture. Kept deliberately even-handed — this is about the skill of noticing bias, not about which sources are "biased."
Includes quick-reference cheat sheets and tool/template checklists (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
