Allsides
The library staff found many resources about news literacy. While we were
not able to display all of our tips for you, DO come into the Library and Learning Resource Center to check out our display.
Each class day this month we will share a video, a website, or a written
checklist that can help you be more informed and news literate. Today's site of interest is AllSides.
Allsides is a website that, “unlike regular news services, exposes bias
and provides multiple angles on the same story so you can quickly get the full
picture, not just one slant.”
Visitors to this website can see a news story about the attempt to
repeal the Affordable Care Act from a variety of sources from the political
right, the political left, and the middle.
In addition to seeing news stories from different political perspectives,
the site has a glossary of controversial terms with commentary from multiple
viewpoints and a list of different media outlets (NBC, CBS, Fox, Buzzfeed) and
their typical biases.
