Abstract

For this project, I looked at cultural media bias in New Zealand. Bias exists at least to some degree in all media—particularly in how stories are framed and which stories are chosen. However, I discovered that media bias is actually not a very big issue in New Zealand. Despite the lack of media bias, cultural influence is imbued in the society and consequently, the news.
