Content: D'Alessio and Allen list three forms of media bias as the most widely studied: Coverage bias (also known as visibility bias), when actors or issues are more or less visible in the news. Gatekeeping bias (also known as selectivity or selection bias), when stories are selected or deselected, sometimes on ideological grounds (see spike ). It is sometimes also referred to as agenda bias, when the focus is on political actors and whether they are covered based on their preferred policy issues. Statement bias (also known as tonality bias or presentation bias), when media coverage is slanted towards or against particular actors or issues. Other common forms of political and non-political media bias include: Advertising bias, when stories are selected or slanted to please advertisers. Concision bias, a tendency to report views that can be summarized succinctly, crowding out more unconventional views that take time to explain. Corporate bias, when stories are selected or slanted to please corporate owners of media. Mainstream bias, a tendency to report what everyone else is reporting, and to avoid stories that will offend anyone.
