Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The article presents a relatively balanced overview of different parties' campaign strategies, focusing on the logistical aspects (number of posters, budget, planned events). While it mentions key policy themes for some parties, it doesn't strongly favor any particular narrative.
Bias by Omission
The article focuses primarily on the campaign strategies of the larger parties (CDU, SPD, Greens, FDP, AfD, and Linke), potentially omitting the activities and perspectives of smaller parties or independent candidates. While this is partly due to space constraints, the omission might limit the reader's understanding of the complete electoral landscape.
Sustainable Development Goals
The article highlights the election campaigns of various parties, focusing on their strategies to reach voters and their campaign budgets. The varying campaign budgets suggest disparities in resources available to different parties, which indirectly relates to reduced inequalities in political participation and representation. While not directly addressing wealth inequality, it shows how resource access impacts political campaigning, which affects the balance of power and representation within the political system.
