title = "Investigating bias in traditional media through social media",
abstract = "It is often the case that traditional media provide coverage of a news event on the basis of journalists' viewpoints - a problem termed in the literature as media bias. On the other hand social media have given birth to an alternative paradigm of journalism known as {"}citizen journalism{"}. We take advantage of citizen journalism to detect the bias in traditional media and propose a simple model for empirical measurement of media bias. Copyright is held by the author/owner(s).",
