8. When writing for The Dispatch, you may find facts from a credible source or interview.
9. A student or adult specified in the area of your story is who might provide informed opinions on a specific story you may write.
10. Opinions may creep into your writing when you use first person, like "our" or "I".
11. "I think" or "I believe" are words that could cue you in that you are writing an opinion when you self edit.

12. Amendment 1 is the amendment that specifies the rights of the press.
13. Amendment 1 directly says that Congress shall make no law respecting respecting an establishment of a religion, or prohibiting the free exercise hereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and petition the government for a redress of grievances.

14. I believe that the purpose of the media/journalism in today's world is to give citizens information, that the citizen can then create opinions off of and make choices based on them.

15. One of the things that I noticed about the three article's headlines was that none of them said the same thing.
16. I do think that the bias of certain media outlets is evident in the three stories. That is because each story had their own point of view on Trump's presidency, and all three headlines were saying something different.
17. I think that Fox News and Brietbart chose to cover other things on the front of their websites that way they would not be criticizes if the news was wrong, especially because at that point, the news was very recent.
18. I do not believe that all media should treat coverage the same. That is because if we did, citizens would have no opinions, and something could easily be covered up and kept secret.
19. I do believe that it is okay if for some media outlets to be slanted towards one side or another as long as the reader knows this. That is because in order for people to have opinions, they must hear different sides of the story.
20. Yes, there is a reason to click on media sources that do not report the news the way you want. That is because you can compare the news you do like to the one you don't like. Also, you can atleast listen to another opinion in the story.

21. I think that the media can accurately report on what is happening in the world by using more facts and less opinions or informed opinions.
