We discuss popular notions of news bias; how 'bias' is different from news 'slant'; which kinds of people are treated as newsworthy (and which kinds are not), and why; what the view or 'framing' of an issue means; what is included in the framing of an issue, and what is excluded or missing.  We discuss other topics including adopting a more global perspective, avoiding a U.S.-centric view of the world, or assuming U.S. 'exceptionalism.'

Finally, we discuss thinking beyond the either/or logic that frames almost all 'mainstream' corporate news in terms of red/blue, Republican/Democratic, liberal/conservative opposition, as well as explain what 'digital literacy' is.
