Overcoming Bias

A Journalist's Guide to Culture & Context

By: Sue Ellen Christian

Journalists go out of their way to avoid purposeful bias in the news. But there is a more pervasive set of internal biases and flaws in thinking that can lead to unintentional inaccuracies and distortions in news coverage. This engaging book offers a fresh take on reporting without bias, targeting the way that we categorize people, filter information and default to rehearsed ways of thinking. Included throughout are stories and on-target advice from reporters and editors, providing real-world voices and experiences. This advice and guidance is coupled with practical exercises that give readers the chance to apply what they learn. Overcoming Bias will teach readers to edit their thinking for habitual errors, making them more perceptive journalists. It provides a career-long foundation for challenging bias. This is an ideal text for a course on multi-cultural reporting or journalism ethics; it may also be used as a supplement in any course on reporting and writing, as each chapter deals with potential biases that emerge at each stage of the story process, from story ideas to editing.

Shared Burdens

By: Sue V. Schlabach,Glen A. Roth

It is a practice, commonly known as "mutual aid," that has distinguished Mennonites since their beginning -- the unconditional offer of aid and assistance when trouble strikes a member. But now that only comparatively few Mennonites are self-employed, and now that many women work outside their homes, these people are less able to respond in traditional ways. On top of that, the community is faced with a new varieties of "trouble" -- those brought on by dysfunctional families, medical advances that extend life but don't remove the need for care, urban crisis of poverty and race. A candid exploration of how a traditional practice has been adapted to the modern world, through well-told stories.
