During a lesson on the media and potential biases, have students select this newspaper and another to study for such a thing. Using a venn digram, have students compare the audiences of both papers, as well as framing issues, coverage, and popularity by numbers. Use an online tool such as the 2 and 3 Circle Interactive Venn Diagrams, reviewed here. This would be a great in class activity before a class discussion of the impact newspapers can have, before focusing on the effects of more popular mediums - such as television.BBC News - BBC

This site hosts an abundance of articles focused on informing and persuading the American public about the US economy and economic legislature being debated by Congress.
In the Classroom
Use the articles on this site as writing prompts for students at the end of a unit or lesson on current economic measures being debated by Congress. Many of the articles span content crossing US borders, and some are controversial enough that it could stir up a myriad of student responses. Allow students to reflect in written essays or in journal writings to be turned in afterwards. To continue to content, have a class discussion afterwards to allow students to share and debate their opinions.Washington Post - Washington Post
