MediaScope Have you ever read a news story that you knew was biased but you couldn?t pinpoint why you thought so? There are dozens of ways that bias can seep into a news story while the reporter appears to adhere to an objective approach.

As a former journalist, Ed knows how to isolate story elements that create a biased impression to a reader, and he will coach you on how to make an effective case when complaining to journalists.
