Abstract

Nowadays news audiences are experiencing an "echo chamber" due to news biased coverage, which causes individuals to shape views with only one side of the story in mind. Media is considered the strongest source of insight and viewpoint for readers about current events. Therefore, the inequality and misrepresentation of media portrayal of topics is necessary to scrutinise. So, by computing a bias score for the news articles, the reader is able to make an informed decision related to particular events. In this paper, an attempt is made to prepare a survey report detailing some of the literature work done for figuring out the systems which detect the political bias for the news articles.
