Analysis / Bias
MediaPost publishes media and business-related news and opinions, such as stories on media innovations and marketing. Articles and headlines do not contain loaded emotional language such as this Mindshare: Americans Sustain Higher Levels Of Post-Pandemic Media Usage. While they don’t often provide hyperlinked sourcing, they provide direct quotes from sources, which is acceptable.
Articles are appropriately labeled as “opinion” and are usually low biased; however, more op-eds tend to slightly favor the left, such as this Lack of Diversity In Market Research: What Can We Do? In general, all news stories are fact-based with a slight left-leaning editorial bias; however, there is enough diversity to call this source least biased.
