Media Bias Analysis

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter provides the first interdisciplinary literature review on media bias analysis, thereby contrasting manual and automated analysis approaches. Decade-long research in political science and other social sciences has resulted in comprehensive models to describe media bias and effective methods to analyze it. In contrast, in computer science, computational linguistics, and related fields, media bias is a relatively young research topic. Despite many approaches being technically very advanced, we find that the automated approaches could often yield more substantial results by using knowledge from social science research on the topic.
