o Balance: A podcast, radio clip or blog must be balanced in order to show both sides
of an argument to ensure it is not biased.
o Bias: A good podcast, radio clip or blog dedicates a great deal of energy to maintain a
neutral point of view. Examples of bias can easily be found in language.
o Subjectivity: A good podcast, radio clip or blog pays careful attention to not let
subjective ideas and opinions impact the impartial tone.
o Opinion: Opinions expressed in podcasts, radio clips or blogs need to be balanced
with facts.
o Objectivity: Being objective in a podcast considers balance, bias, subjectivity, opinion,
and representation to allow the viewer to come to their own conclusions about an
issue. If a podcast, radio clip or blog fails to remain objective, then they risk losing
credibility with their audience.
o Impartiality: The language used to describe the individuals and issues being discussed
in a podcast, radio clip or blog needs to be impartial. If the tone and language is too
impartial, then a podcast risks bias.
o Credibility: A credible podcast, radio clip or blog will use facts sourced from resources
that are checked for accuracy.
o Evidence based: Evidence-based practice means the conscientious use of the best
practices available. Treatments that are scientifically proven to produce positive
esults. An evidence-based approach constantly looks at new research and studies
and re-evaluates practice based on findings.
• Your analysis should respond to these questions:
o Whether they support health education improvement.
o Whether they support clinical quality.
o Whether they contribute to the evidence base.
The assignment requires research, using credible sources (textbooks, peer reviewed scientific journal
