Online participation and crowdsourcing as a solution to mitigate news bias
Original language description
It is apparent that certain news outlets occasionally report biased news. Forcefully planted biased viewpoints can cause harmful effects on society thus democracy. Since online news is gradually becoming the main source of news particularly for the new generation, new mechanisms to tackle online news bias will benefit the society as a whole in future. In this study we investigate how online participation and crowdsourcing techniques can be utilised to fight against biased news to leverage the power of internet users who are now becoming active participants rather than merely being passive readers. Even though there have been some previous attempts to mitigate online news bias, the aforementioned methods have been overlooked and underutilised. Based on the findings of this study a novel news platform to mitigate online news bias is proposed and discussed in the end.
