How can you spot bias in a newspaper?
1. Bias through choice of photos photos, captions and camera angle- does the person look empowered? weak? Foolish?
2. Bias through placement - Is it on the front page or hidden on page 15, how long through the paper is the article?
3. Bias through word choice and tone.
4. Bias through headlines- what is the headline article and how is it pitched?
5. Bias through source control- who has been interviewed?
6. Bias through use of names and titles- Nickname, respectful terms?
7. Bias through selection of omission- which articles are included and left out?
8. Bias through statistics and crowd control.

Gatekeeper
A term which is applied to the editing and filming process where decisions are made to let some information pass through to one receiver (audience and other information remains barred. These people can really change the way we see the media.
One example of this is with the Sun newspaper on the 6th of November 2017 where Rupert Murdoch who owns the sun was found to be stashing money away in foreign banks so he would not have to pay for taxes. Because of this nothing about this scandal was printed into this newspaper because Rupert Murdoch is the gate keeper for them. The Guardian did the complete opposite because their gatekeeper, Alan Rusbridger, thought that he could possibly exploit Rupert Murdoch.
