How do news outlets choose which crimes to report on–and does it matter? Can adverts really change how we think and behave? Underpinning these questions looms the spectre of bias; the hidden force that frames our thinking and skews the facts. Tackling the complex subject of bias head on, Skewed investigates the hidden messages we absorb from birth. Looking closely at what the research can tell us, Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West explain how our inner worlds are shaped by false information, media trends, and the brain's preference for patterns and stereotypes. Through conversations with a diverse range of voices–from cognitive psychologists to activists and entertainers–Caryn and Keon offer a vision for an alternative future; a world in which we recognise and manage bias, and one in which diversity and difference can truly flourish.
