Pre-reading Most of us learn about news through the mass media, but can we just believe news as it is presented? The two news reports and the article below encourage you to be a critical news reader. Before you read the news reports and the article, think about the following questions: Do you believe everything you read in a news report? Why or why not? What do you think makes a critical news reader? Pre-reading 10 Do you believe everything you read in a news report? Why or why not? Sometimes I do, but it depends. If the news is reported by a news agency that I know is trustworthy, then I will usually believe the report. However, if the news is from a source that I am not familiar with, I will often check other sources to compare the information in the reports. Moreover, if a headline seems to be too exaggerated to be true, then I will also check other news reports to confirm whether it is a true story. Pre-reading 11 What do you think makes a critical news reader? I think a critical news reader would always bear in mind that a news report can be genuine or fake. Taking note of which news agency published the news report would help a news reader decide whether it contains reliable information. A critical news reader is also aware that different news reports may have different focuses, so he or she would search for various reports on the same event to form a complete picture of what happened. More importantly, a critical reader would not be easily influenced by what is reported in the news; instead, he or she would form his or her own judgement. Pre-reading 12 03.

While reading 1. What should we not do when we come across factual differences in different news reports? 2. What may different journalists do when an estimate of a number is given? When we come across such factual differences, we should not rush to the conclusion that one of the news reports gives false information. Journalists may choose to present the minimum, the maximum or something in between in their news reports. Detailed reading 23 04. Post reading In pairs, discuss the following questions. Post reading 1. Three texts are presented to encourage the reader to read news critically. Why is the information organized this way? If you were to write on the same topic, what information would you choose to present and how would you organize the information? 2. What else can we do to be critical news readers? 25 Post reading Then the third text provides information and explanations regarding these differences, so that readers have a clear idea why they should be critical when reading news reports and how to be critical news readers. 1. The information is organized in a logical way so that readers understand the author’s intention easily. First, readers are presented with the two news reports, so they can compare the differences between the two perspectives. 26 Post reading Examples: If I were to write an article on the topic of reading news reports critically, I would first write a short passage about why it is important to read news critically and then ask students to read two different news reports about the same story. After the news reports, I would present another short passage on how to become a critical news reader. Organizing the information in this way will get students to think about the “why” as they are reading the news reports. Then after reading the “how” passage, they can reflect on whether their reading of the articles was critical or not. Students can then re-read the articles to apply both the “why” and the “how” knowledge they now have in order to practise reading critically. 27 Post reading 2. What else can we do to be critical news readers? We can do more research on the news source. For example, we can find out more about the news agency, and the stand it takes. We could read or watch other materials from the source so we can get a further impression of the perspective their news usually takes and how trustworthy it seems. 28 05.
