www.thetwotimestimes.com is
a website that demonstrates how multiple accounts of one news event may
result in what appears to be descriptions of different events. These
differences may be accidental, on purpose, or simply a demonstration of how
each eyewitness may see one event differently
There are four goals of this Website:
- To raise reader awareness that
there is more than one view of a news event
- To demonstrate that there are
inconsistencies reporting one event when multiple sources are
referenced
- To help the reader become
open to contrasting opinions of an event
- To provide the reader with the
opportunity to determine whether the 1st reporting, the 2nd reporting, or
some mixture of coverage may best represent the event
============================
Each edition locates and displays articles in
the following categories:
Articles are sourced from a changing group of
websites. Today's sources include: Daily Mail, Israel National
News, slate.com, Bloomberg View, salon.com, reason.com, blogs.wsj.com,
Marketwatch, Cinemaphile, The Globe and Mail, USA Today, Huffington Post, The
Guardian.
Selected articles do not fall into traditional
categories of North Vs. South, Liberal Vs. Conservative or Friend Vs. Foe
Two stories (a NewsPair) are placed side by
side, in each category, with their original Photo, Title and Content
The reader is invited to read the NewsPair to
sense how the news event was reported
Each NewsPair demonstrates small or
significant variations in the reporting of the event
At the bottom of each story is a ‘Go
To Source’ link back to the original site for more reading, or to
satisfy the curiosity of the reader regarding the source or author of
the article
