Understanding Bias

Recently in class we discussed the various types of bias. I've always known the definition of bias and seen it in multiple occasions like decision making or choosing a side, but I've known sat down to think that there might be different types of bias. Here are some types of bias that I learned:

Corporate Bias - A type of bias in which the business or advertising interests of a news outlet, or its parent company, influence how - or even whether - a story is reported.

Partisan Bias - A type of bias in which a journalist's political views affect news coverage.

Demographic Bias - A type of bias in which race, gender, ethnicity or other factors - such as culture or economic class - affect news coverage.

"Big Story" Bias - A type of bias in which journalists' perceptions of an event or development as a major, important story can cause them to miss key details and misrepresent key facts.
