Just a quick correction that altering video to change the meaning of an event is NOT what they do in sports. Or news. But apparently it is now supposed to be OK in politics. (Hint: it’s not.) As many will only read the headline, the tweet should not infer this lie is true.

While this whole meme is cute, hopefully the dad would actually acknowledge the important work that a journalist does, and that getting a second source is vital to ferreting out truth. Plus, not everyone needs to be a doctor. (I’m reading too much into it, aren’t it?)

Small mistakes can have larger impacts. Two people, same name, different influences. This error was quickly corrected, but the graphic exists and the visual association lives on the interwebs. Is ⁦Mediaite⁩ (and are we) right to share the image? mediaite.com/tv/msnbc-cover…

A great look at what makes something “normal” and who gets included, especially in tech. Spoiler: those kept “outside” are usually women and people of color.

This. This may be the biggest crisis in our democracy. (And we would venture to guess that students may actually be better than other demographics at this.) npr.org/sections/thetw…

PSA: it’s 2019. There is no excuse for reporters and editors not to have a professional level of awareness of how readers consume news. If you don’t put pivotal information - like the fact that the $2M was over 30 years - in the headline and tweet, you’re misleading readers.

The Fox Broadcasting Co. is currently giving the likely GOP nominee for president airtime to just slander prominent Democrats running against him, with zero pushback from Hannity. It’s basically a campaign donation from Murdoch.

This, exactly. Point of view on a story. Who you quote. Who you ascribe certain motivations to. All in the hands of journalists. Who could do so much better. And frequently fail. What was that about objectivity again?

Journalism instructors—this is a very good tweet to talk about how our implicit blindness shapes how we tell stories and who we center in them. A good start for a discussion of why? Why does the subject of the ENTIRE STORY not deserve the photo? How was this decision made?

Agenda setting: not telling you what to think, but providing the topics and sometimes the lens through which to think and talk about those topics.

Past The New York Times reporting has shown that if this "tight-knit, godly family" used the name Allah instead of God this headline and the article's tone would be vastly different. Perspective is one thing, but bias has no place in real journalism. x.com/nytimes/status…
