Through her mask, she reports that unfortunately a study has just today determined that the mines of District 13 are still too toxic to approach. End of story. But just before they cut back to the main newscaster, I see the unmistakable flash of that same mockingjay’s wing. The reporter has simply been incorporated into the old footage. She’s not in District 13 at all. Which begs the question, “What is?” Collins, Suzanne. Catching fire. New York: Scholastic Press, 2009. Print. p.162-3

  17. Evaluation “I learned that bias is unavoidable with news media. You just have to be aware of it in every source you watch/read.” “I learned how to look more closely at the source of the information and whether or not it is biased based on who is reporting the news.” “I feel that it is useful in determining how credible a source might be when we consider the values and beliefs of the major companies such as Disney and CBS who control what the people of America and the world see on a daily basis” “Show the same story as broadcasted on MSNBC, FOX and CNN”.
