    Bias is always present, and it can be found in all outlets
    of media. There are so many different types of bias that
    are present, whether it is found in is found in the news,
    entertainment industry, or in the portrayal of stereotypes
    bias, is all around us.

    20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 7


    MEDIA OBJECTIVITY

    • Objectivity in journalism aims to help the audience make up their


    own mind about a story, providing the facts alone and then letting
    audiences interpret those on their own.
    • To maintain objectivity in journalism, journalists should present the
    facts whether or not they like or agree with those facts and not to
    share their opinion on a topic and withholding facts of circumstantial
    information from the public’s eyes.

    20XX 8
    PROS AND CONS OF OBJECTIVITY IN
    JOURNALISM

    • Some pros of objectivity are that it gives people an understanding of


    the topic that isn’t bias.
    •  Unbiased opinions will help people come up with their own
    understanding of a concept instead of believing someone's opinion due
    to an unfair or bias influence on them.

    • Some cons of objectivity are that not everyone follows the objectivity
    rule. Some people just speak their mind without considering how a
    person would feel.
    •  Like in research, people may put their opinion instead of facts inside
    their research which would contaminate the whole research which
    would make it invalid. 
    20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 9
    REASONS WHETHER OBJECTIVE JOURNALISM CAN PREVENT
    MEDIA BIAS

    • Bias can have a significant influence on the way we as individuals and as a


    community respond to troubling events that are complicated by the racial
    identities of the people involved.
    • All information is not created equal. Just because absolute neutrality or
    objectivity is impossible to achieve does not mean that all information is equally
    flawed and biased.
    • Perceptions of bias are, themselves, highly subjective. Due to confirmation bias,
    people commonly perceive opposing biases in the same piece of information.
    • Be wary of cynicism and assumptions about the motives of
    journalists. Conversations about media bias often devolve into an exchange of
    cynical assumptions about “the media.”

    20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 10


    CONCLUSION

    In Conclusion Media Bias is a way that people online use to


    express different situations that suit their need. It has many
    types of biases that are used everyday and can be seen
    multiple times a day.
