Question

which questions best help determine whether a news source is reputable and objective? select three options.
□ in what order does the news source choose to present the headlines?
□ does the news source use language that might lead to an emotional response?
□ is the news source primarily an online news source or a print news source?
□ does the news source offer the news for free, or is a paid subscription necessary?
□ what type of language do the reporters use in the published news stories?

Explanation:

To determine a reputable and objective news source, we analyze each option:

1. "Does the news source use language that might lead to an emotional response?" - Biased or unobjective sources often use emotional language. This helps check objectivity.
2. "What type of language do the reporters use in the published news stories?" - Formal, neutral language (vs. loaded terms) indicates objectivity and professionalism, aiding in reputation assessment.
3. "In what order does the news source choose to present the headlines?" - A reputable source presents headlines without manipulative ordering (e.g., not prioritizing sensationalism over importance), helping assess objectivity.

Options about online/print or free/paid are irrelevant to reputation/objectivity (e.g., many reputable sources are online or have paid subscriptions, and free sources can be reputable or not).

• Does the news source use language that might lead to an emotional response?
