MEDIA LITERACY CHECKLIST | SPOT THE BIAS

You will never consume media the same way again.

Every day, algorithms decide what you see. Media owners decide what gets covered. Journalists decide what gets left out. And most people never ask a single question before sharing a story that shapes how they think about power, politics, and their own lives.

This checklist changes that.

Media Literacy: Spot the Bias is a 12-question framework from Notes On Power Academy designed for intermediate learners who are ready to think critically about every news article, social media post, political speech, and viral video they encounter.

What you get:

A printable, reusable checklist that walks you through 12 powerful questions, covering who owns the source, who is quoted and who is missing, how language reveals bias, whether statistics are being used honestly, and whether the story tells the truth about power.

Who this is for:

Learners in Grades 8 to 12, educators, civic activists, and any adult who wants to stop being manipulated by media and start reading the world with clarity and confidence.

Why R30? Because the ability to think for yourself is worth far more than that.

Unchained. Unafraid. Unmistakable.
