Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Use of dramatic language to enhance the perceived severity of an event.

The statement 'The shooting comes amid a violent holiday weekend nationwide.' could be seen as sensationalizing the context of the event by implying a broader trend of violence without providing specific data.

Provide specific statistics or data to support the claim of a 'violent holiday weekend nationwide' to avoid sensationalism.

Appeal to emotion

Using emotional statements to sway the reader's opinion.

State Rep. Mai Xiong's statement '...we are instead faced with a devastating reminder that gun violence is hitting too close to home, right in our own backyards' is an emotional appeal that may influence the reader's perception of the event.

Balance the emotional statement with additional perspectives or data on community efforts to address gun violence.
