Here is what I found...

"Coverage bias: when actors or issues are more or less visible in the news.

Gatekeeping bias/selection bias: when stories are selected or deselected. It is sometimes also referred to as agenda bias, when the focus is on political actors and whether they are covered based on their preferred policy issues.

Statement bias: when media coverage is slanted towards or against particular actors."

Hope this helps you out!
