Cognitive Concepts

1/5

Framing Bias

The framing appears largely neutral, presenting factual information without overtly favoring any particular viewpoint. However, the selection of news items could be considered a form of framing bias, as it prioritizes certain events over others. The order and selection may subtly influence the reader's overall perception of events in Africa during this period.

2/5

Bias by Omission

The provided text focuses on factual reporting of events, but lacks analysis of potential underlying factors or alternative interpretations. For example, the reasons behind the success of the Malian team in the AES games are not explored, nor are the potential political implications of the Niger's new council discussed in detail. Further investigation would be needed to assess potential bias by omission.
