M2 Hypothesis Annotation: Types of Media Bias
Overview
For this reading, you will use social annotation to comment and take notes. Social annotation is a way to read and take notes with your classmates. Social annotation is reading and thinking together. It brings the age-old process of marking up texts to the digital learning space while also making it a collaborative exercise. The tool that makes this possible is Hypothes.is.
Purpose
Completing this annotation activity will help you use prewriting strategies to plan your assignment. You will be able to reflect on the ideas needed to complete the module two work successfully, and use active reading strategies.
DirectionsBefore you begin:
Study 16 types of media biasLinks to an external site., from AllSides.
The Tool You’ll Use: Hypothesis
If you’d like a quick guide to creating annotations in Hypothesis, use this guide: Introduction to Hypothesis App for Students.Links to an external site.
If you feel proficient at annotating, you can annotate with images, GIFs or videos. Check out this article which explains how to do this: Adding Links, Images, and Video.Links to an external site.
When you are ready:
Start by clicking on the big gray button below that says “Load 2.2 Hypothesis/Social Annotation: Types of Media Bias.” This will take you to a PDF of two articles on the same topic, but one will be “left-leaning,” and one will be “right-leaning,” according to the Allsides analysis.
In a separate tab or window, open https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/ratingsLinks to an external site. and search for the publication name (found in the upper right-hand or left-hand corner of the pdf) to see the way Allsides labels the publication (as right leaning or left leaning). Use that information to help you read critically and create your annotations.
Use Hypothesis to annotate specific segments of the articles and try to label the type of media bias you see there.
Label at least two types of media bias. If you don’t see any types, make a note in Hypothesis to explain that to your group.
US economy adds 528,000 jobs in
July, blowing past expectations
By Megan Henney | Aug. 5th, 2022 Send to Kindle
U.S. job growth unexpectedly accelerated in July, defying fears of a slowdown in
hiring even as the labor market confronts the twin threats of scorching-hot
inflation and rising interest rates.
Employers added 528,000 jobs in July, the Labor Department
said in its monthly payroll report released Friday, blowing past
the 250,000 jobs forecast by Refinitiv economists. The unemployment rate,
meanwhile, edged down to 3.5%, the lowest level since the COVID-19 pandemic
began more than two years ago.
The U.S. has now replaced all over the jobs that were lost during the pandemic.
Job gains were broad-based in July, with leisure and hospitality leading the way in
hiring, adding 96,000 new workers. That was followed by professional businesses
services (89,000), health care (70,000) and government (57,000). Construction
contributed 32,000 new jobs while manufacturing added 30,000.8/8/22, 2:10 PM Mercury Reader

HOW DEMOCRATS’ BEEFED-UP IRS COULD HURT LOW-INCOME
AMERICANS
The uptick in hiring comes amid a growing consensus that the economy is losing
momentum as the Federal Reserve hikes interest rates at the fastest pace in
decades to wrestle inflation under control. The Commerce Department reported
last week that gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and
services produced in the nation, shrank 0.6% in the three-month period from
April to June. That followed a decline of 1.6% in the first three months of the
year.
With back-to-back quarterly declines in GDP, the economy meets the technical
criteria for a recession.
While many economists have argued the strong jobs market has so far prevented
the U.S. from sliding into a downturn, job growth momentum is expected to cool
markedly in coming months as companies cut staff in order to accommodate for
lower demand.
Jobless claims have started to steadily tick higher in recent
weeks and a plethora of companies, including Alphabet’s Google,
Walmart, Apple, Meta, Robinhood and Microsoft, have announced hiring freezes
or layoffs in recent weeks.
