Media biasis the biasof journalistsand news producerswithin the mass mediain the selection of many events and stories that are reported and how they are covered. The term "media bias" implies a pervasive or widespread bias contravening the standards of journalism, rather than the perspective of an individual journalist or article. The direction and degree of media bias in various countries is widely disputed. [ 1]
Practical limitations to media neutralityinclude the inability of journalists to report all available stories and facts, and the requirement that selected facts be linked into a coherent narrative.[2] Governmentinfluence, including overt and covert censorship, biases the media in some countries, for example China, North Koreaand Myanmar. [ 3][4]Marketforces that result in a biased presentation include the ownershipof the news source, concentration of media ownership, the subjective selection of staff, or the preferencesof an intended audience. There are a number of national and international watchdoggroups that report on bias of the media.
