Here at Ad Fontes Media we rate the news all day every day as a way to bring people together. Misleading, inaccurate and highly polarizing media content has driven so many of us apart.
We encourage everyone to use the Media Bias Chart as a guide to finding unbiased and reliable information, and we recently released an enhanced version of the Interactive Media Bias Chart® that is faster and more responsive. This new interactive chart also offers News Nerd subscribers expanded access to data.
Previously, News Nerd annual and monthly subscribers could search only 600 of the top news sources on the interactive chart. They can now search all sources that our team of analysts has fully rated (that’s almost 4,000!)! Daily search limits apply.
Subscribers can create customized charts comparing all of their favorite websites, podcasts, YouTube channels and TV shows! If we’ve rated it, our News Nerds can search for it. News Nerd Pro subscribers can also filter sources by geographic location, ownership and more.
Ad Fontes has also announced a new subscription option: News Nerd Friends & Family. If you like to discuss the news and the media with friends or family members, or if you have people in your life who could really use our information but who might not be willing to pay for it, you can grant them access through this membership option! With News Nerd Friends & Family, three people can have access to our data for one subscription price.
Our News Nerd subscribers also get additional benefits, such as multiple analyst requests and a 35% discount on Ad Fontes Media merchandise. More information about our subscription options is on the website.
Ad Fontes continues to offer the free version of the Interactive Media Bias Chart® because we want everyone to be able to become a savvy news consumer. It’s important for all of us to be informed citizens in order to have a thriving democracy. The free version allows access to 250 of our fully rated sources, with a limit of five searches per day.
