What is Bias in writing?
• Bias in writing can be defined as:
• A prejudice against something an author is writing
about.
• An author letting feelings or emotions cloud his/her
objectivity with regard to something he/she is
writing.
Much of what you read and hear expresses a bias. Bias
is when a writer or
speaker uses a selection of facts, choice of words, and
quality and tone of
description, to convey a particular feeling or attitude.
This is where tone and
mood are at play.

trying to say about it, as well as the effect they
are trying to create for their reader.

of a piece of writing or literature.
