Who We Are
Helping People Better Navigate the News Since 2018


News Sources Rated
Articles and Episodes Rated
Since 2018, we’ve been on a mission to rate the news and make a positive impact on society. For too long, people have not had enough access to impartial ratings of the news. That’s why we’re here: to rate the news for reliability and bias so you don’t have to.
- You’ll get both reliability and bias ratings, not just one or the other
- You’ll be able to understand it in a simple, visually appealing way
- You’ll get ratings for all news and all news-like content, including TV and podcasts
- You’ll be able to make sound decisions, in business and education

Analysts from a wide political spectrum
In order to ensure accuracy, we create our news content ratings with a team of human analysts with political views from across the spectrum. They are trained to look at the content of the news and score it according to our methodology.
Advertising for good
We seek to positively impact the news landscape itself by transforming the incentives for advertisers in news. We believe news content ratings are key to fixing the way advertisers inadvertently help junk news sources proliferate.
Wide applications
Our system of news content ratings can be used by all stakeholders in a healthy news media landscape, including consumers, educators, publishers, researchers, advertisers, and social media platforms.
