I’m excited to announce a new, low-cost subscription that gives access to our bias and reliability data: News Newbie. If you’re a fan of the Media Bias Chart® and would like even more access to our data, a News Newbie subscription might be a good fit.
If you’d like deeper insights, then a News Nerd subscription is still available. It offers additional access to ratings, additional searches and more!
If you’re already a News Nerd subscriber, don’t worry! Your current benefits and price will remain the same, and you don’t need to do anything.
Here’s what you get with our new subscription levels.
News Newbie: ($4.95/mo or $56.99 for the year)
- Search all 4,200+ sources on our Interactive Media Bias Chart® (the free chart allows access to only 250 sources). New sources are added to the chart each week!

She is the original creator of the Media Bias Chart (October 2016), and founded Ad Fontes Media in February of 2018 to fulfill the need revealed by the popularity of the chart — the need for a map to help people navigate the complex media landscape, and for comprehensive content analysis of media sources themselves.
