Looking for Trouble? Uh.... No, Just Looking for a Problem - Thursday, September, 18

Today you took time to research the background to your problem or question that will form the basis of your historical study concerning the presidential election. Regardless of which question you are considering, please ensure that in the research section of your study you are addressing the following issues:

• define bias clearly and as fully as possible -- put it in the context of media bias in presidential elections
• in as many ways as you can, identify measurable ways in which bias can be identified

Doing a comprehensive job on the above items will help to build a solid foundation from which you can generate a good model for your study.
