There’s some case where Analytical reading can’t be applied and reading news is one of these. To better understand a news and reading it well, we need to ask questions that are a bit similar to the Inspectional reading ones:

  • What does the author want to prove?
  • Who does he/she want to convince?
  • What special knowledge does he/she assume?
  • What special language does he use?
  • Does he/she really know what he/she’s talking about?
  • What are the author’s or media’s natural position and beliefs? (This assumes that objectivity doesn’t exist in medias).
