PSA Intent

Reseaerch:
http://myweb.rollins.edu/jsiry/Advocate-MediaFocus.html#bias

http://www.democrats.com/node/11604

Your PSA:
the key points i will emphasize is how bias in news and media can lead to an uninformed public and how people have the right to the full story before the opinion of the author.

Appropriate visuals and audio that i can use are that of news programs and different things that help to convey the point.

The type of PSA that i will do is a straight informative and maybe live action video that will get across the issue of an uninformed public.

The structure i will use:
Example of problem bias.
Someone who is uninformed.
Examples of the problems.
Information about bias. information about the site.

Website

With my project being an actual website, this could go one of two ways:

This site could be used as the actual site for the project, in that case having the components of the project in it. this would include the database, comparisons, identifier of bias, and discussion. The database allows people to find articles that are non-biased so that they get the full story. Comparisons allow for both sides of an argument, showing biased posts on both sides and comparing them. The identifier is used to show the bias in major articles or reports so people can see what they are being told. The discussion allows for academic discussion over the articles and events that are being posted.

or

A site that supports my project, in which case there would be pages for info about my project, a page explaining what was explained above, a home page, a page that shows a concept and/or links to the actual website.
