What is reading sports media critically?
Show answer
To read critically is to notice that a report is a point of view, not the truth of the match. A report written for one team's home city frames the result differently from a report in the rival city. A headline may exaggerate to sell. None of this makes the media dishonest; it makes it a constructed text with a purpose.
