Abstract

Bias is inevitable and inherent in any form of communication. News often appear biased to citizens with different political orientations, and understood differently by news media scholars and the broader
public. In this paper we advocate the need for accurate methods for bias
identification in video news item, to enable rich analytics capabilities in
order to assist humanities media scholars and social political scientists.
We propose to analyze biases that are typical in video news (including
framing, gender and racial biases) by means of a human-in-the-loop approach that combines text and image analysis with human computation
techniques.
