You have learned how newspapers and magazines can carry bias, now you will find an example. You will conduct
Internet research to find an image, from either a newspaper or a magazine, that contains bias on a topic that interests
you. One option may be to locate a political advertisement or political cartoon. After selecting an image, you will write a
paragraph addressing the following:
• Explain the subject of the image. What is the image about? What is its message?
• Describe the bias in the image. How is the artist depicting the topic in order to persuade the viewer?
• Label each reference to the sources with proper citation: any direct quotations or references should be followed by
the last name of the artist and the year of publication, in parentheses. Example: (Jones 2015).
• At the conclusion of your paragraph, properly cite both of your sources, following the guidelines of image citation.
