Analysis / Bias
In review, Adweek primarily covers news related to the media, marketing, and advertising. There is minimal use of loaded language in headlines such as this Facebook Teamed Up With Eventbrite on a Ticketing Distribution and Sales Feature for Pages. This story, like most on Adweek, is appropriately sourced to credible media outlets such as Bloomberg. In general, straight news reporting sticks with its genre and presents information with low bias.
Editorially, Adweek also focuses on their industry and does not venture deeply into politics. From a political standpoint, they also present low-biased Op-Eds.
