MASSAGING THE MESSAGE
Truth, the Media, and You
DVD
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Explore the way media reports can choose words and images that hide the truth by selectively revealing only part of the truth.
In a segment on loaded language, two reports on the same incident use different word choices to create very different spins on the story. In a segment on loaded imagery, two documentaries create contrasting impressions of the same street when one sequence concentrates on the street’s flowers and trees, the other on its walls and trash cans.
Quantities are limited.
