| Abstract: | This article urges BI librarians to develop programs in mass media news sources, and suggests how the theory of news framing and sourcing may be used to develop critical thinking skills. Such programs could be particularly useful in serving multicultural populations. Coverage of the same two topics by mainstream corporate news sources and independent non-corporate sources is compared. Differences in coverage are used to show how decisions about framing and sourcing serve an ideological agenda that is not sensitive to multicultural viewpoints. Corporate news sources should be supplemented by sources from non-corporate titles to achieve complete understanding of any topic. |
