Media “bias” has long been cited – generally among those who take issue with what, or how, specific coverage appears. But is the coverage of retirement and retirement issues “biased”?
Now, having spent a fair amount of my career as part of “the media,” I can promise you that one person’s “bias” is as likely a reflection of the perceiver as the perceived. That said, there is plenty of reporting about head-scratching statistics, and a perpetuation of certain “myths” (even among industry trade publications that ostensibly should know better).
But ours is a complicated business, and beyond the “if it bleeds, it leads” mantra that has long been a journalistic tenet, well-intentioned writers, like the rest of us, can be misdirected by what seems to be a credible source.
This week, we’d like to know what you think – about the ifs, whats, and whys of media coverage of retirement and retirement issues.
