Bias

Headline - PG Tips chimps: The last of the tea-advertising apes

Bias through selection and omission - I don't feel this story is bias in either of these ways.

Bias through placement - BBC News has been very bias with the placement of the story by making it very small on the web page.

Bias by word choice and tone - The PG Tips chimps were loved by the public and helped make the tea brand one of the UK's most popular. But while the nation laughed, were the animals lives being damaged?

Bias by source control - They are writing about a factual event and so have no control over the source of the event / story.

Bias by headline - I don't think it's bias as the headline simply states what has happened.

Bias by photo - Access to the story was via a much smaller photo compared to the rest of the photos.

Bias through use of names and titles - I don't think it's bias in this way.

Bias through statistics and crowd counts - This story doesn't use theses.
