4. Alternative Truths: Bias and Bubbles in Campaign Coverage Horse Race Politics

    • Politics

This week marked something of a re-set in the campaign, with Donald Trump returning to the campaign trail. We focus on the different worlds that are presented to citizens in the US through various media channels, unpacking the idea of media bias, and explaining how it has evolved as politics moves increasingly online. We look at the Lincoln project, which seeks to cross traditional partisan boundaries as well as efforts by media scholars to guide election coverage. We also review the key stories of the week, including Hunter Biden’s emails, and Donald Trump’s Dad dancing.
