Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Explain how and why serious national news comes from surprisingly few places and how most TV news coverage is assigned to predictable events.
2, Discuss the media's dependence on official sources and how beats and news-gathering routines encourage a situation of mutual dependence by reporters and officials.
3, Compare the role of the leak in news gathering with other ways the media get information from official sources, and examine how spin has an impact on the relationship between the media and these sources.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Discuss how bias is deviation from ideal standards such as representativeness or objectivity.
2, Discuss how the charges of bias are launched back and forth and how liberal critics believe the news media favor Republicans and the business establishment, while many conservative critics believe the news media are unfair to Republicans and favor liberal social causes.
3, Explain that any liberalism on the part of journalists is likely offset by the reliance on official sources that run the gamut in terms of ideology and that there is no systematic evidence that reporters' personal values regularly affect what is in the mainstream news media. Include that more often than not it is conservatives and Republicans who own and manage most news media organizations.
4, Incorporate a discussion of prevailing themes in political news, such as nationalism, approval of the American economic system, the relish the media take in reporting scandal, the trend of infotainment, and episodic and fragmented news coverage.
