To analyze a verbal message in the media, I can think about what the creator includes and what they exclude. Then I can consider whether the creator shows any preferences or biases.

An influencer is creating a media message about a restaurant they are eating at. Why might they leave out the fact that their soup arrived cold when it should have been hot?
• to make sure they show the restaurant in a positive light
• to make sure the media message is short enough
• to make sure there is no bias in how they present the restaurant
• to make sure the restaurant is seen in a negative light

The most likely reason the influencer might leave out the fact that their soup arrived cold when it should have been hot is to make sure they show the restaurant in a positive light.
