I'm working on a project to determine Media Bias and compiling
resources, websites, etc., on the topic.

I am looking for a source that provides a list of popular newspapers,
magazines, and journals that have a particular slant or bias
(conservative, liberal, etc.).  I have found websites that provide
information on teaching media bias, detecting media bias, and
evaluating various forms of the media for bias, but I really want an
actual list of popular magazines and newspapers that have a bias (a
"label" is assigned to the magazine or newspaper) based upon
evaluations done through an independent university study or
independent organization.

I don't want personal opinions, observations, or evaluations done by
those with an agenda, but rather something that can be used to share
with students and teachers regarding the print media. (This will be
difficult to find, I'm sure, but interesting if available.)  I have
found one university link to a list but I was hoping for something
with a bit more substance.

Please send your links or resources to me and I will post a HIT if
others are interested.  Also....if you're already looking for
something like this and want to see what I've already compiled, please
feel free to visit the Texas School Librarians' wiki at:

http://txschoollibrarians.wikispaces.com/Media+Bias

(Note:  this wiki page is not finished....I've just started compiling
the resources and will be adding more information, lessons, and
resources as I go!)

Thanks!
