Question 9 • World Literature CR SUSD (EX)

Which questions best help determine whether a news source is reputable and objective? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
Is the news source primarily an online news source or a print news source?
B
Does the news source offer the news for free, or is a paid subscription necessary?
C
In what order does the news source choose to present the headlines?
D
Does the news source use language that might lead to an emotional response?
E
What type of language do the reporters use in the published news stories?

Explanation

Look for signs that the source’s presentation may influence readers rather than report neutrally. The order of headlines can reveal what the source chooses to emphasize, and emotionally charged language or biased wording in stories can undermine objectivity. Whether the source is online or print, or whether it charges for access, does not by itself show that it is reputable or objective.
