S2 Task 1 How the media informs us flashcards

We get news from many different places, like traditional sources (TV news, newspapers, and radio) and digital sources (websites, podcasts, and social media).

Many people use apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook to see what is happening.

People film their own videos and post them online.

In the UK the TV and radio has to tell both sides of the story ( unbiased) but newspapers can decide which story they will tell (biased)

These are all platforms that can inform us but they need to be fact checked

It might be "biased," meaning it only shows one side of the story.

Most people prefer to get their news on a digital device like a phone or tablet.

Using an app or device like a phone or tablet is a common way to find out what is happening in the world.

Thinking critically helps you understand the news better and avoid being misled by biased information.

You should think critically and check multiple sources to understand news better.
