We had to analyze the types of news that they provide and how much information is given. We also had to compare their news coverage to the media here in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploring how the media can contribute to bias, fake news, and other types of decontextualization that we consume in our society is one of the most useful information that I learned in this class because it is a relevant topic especially with our continuous exposure to social media where most of the misinformation occurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!selectors.core.file.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/spanjourney300\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33183\/2023\/12\/8.6.1-Prensa-.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 8.6.1-Prensa-.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-3a948783-a895-42fd-80f5-f0bf611eea8f\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/spanjourney300\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33183\/2023\/12\/8.6.1-Prensa-.pdf\">8.6.1-Prensa-<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/spanjourney300\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33183\/2023\/12\/8.6.1-Prensa-.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-3a948783-a895-42fd-80f5-f0bf611eea8f\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Module 10: Entertainment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most enjoyable assignments that we tackled was about the diverse kinds of music and dances that exist in Spanish and Latin culture.
