BHA: Journalism, Churnalism and Media Bias
Journalism, Churnalism and Media Bias
How much journalism is churnalism – the uncritical regurgitation of press releases? To what extent can we trust what we read in the press about medical and other scientific discoveries and breakthroughs? How impartial is mainstream media coverage of key political and economic issues? And just how much of tabloid news is just, well, made up?
