How it works
1. Compare the same story
Headlines about one event are grouped together, so you can read how left, center and right outlets each framed it.
2. Spot coverage gaps
When at least 3 independent voices cover a story and one side barely mentions it (or only the center covers it and both flanks barely do), it is flagged as a coverage gap, so you know what you might be missing. Outlets on the same side that ran an identical headline (ignoring case, punctuation and a trailing outlet name), or that belong to the same named syndication network, count as one independent voice. The 3-voice minimum and every percentage are applied to those voices, not to the number of outlets.
3. Know your own balance
"My Reading Balance" shows the mix of outlets you actually read. It is built in your browser and never leaves your device.
What is inside
427 outlets, 75 countries
379 news outlets plus 48 opinion sources, kept in separate feeds so commentary never counts as news coverage. 5 of these outlets are state-controlled: shown with a label and left out of the left / center / right percentages.

What it is not
- Not a fact-checker. It compares coverage; it does not judge individual claims.
- Ratings are opinions. They are one editor's assessments of each outlet as a whole, not measurements. See the method and dispute any rating.
- Uneven spectrum. Of the news outlets, 25% are left, 50% center and 25% right of center; the center is the largest group. 5 state-controlled news outlets are listed separately and are not counted in these shares. The right of center was widened in October 2026, but the list only includes outlets with a usable public feed, so it is a sample, not a census of the media.
- Headlines only. We read short summaries from public feeds and link to the publisher for the full story.

Where do the bias and factuality ratings come from?
They are our own editorial assessments, and every outlet shows who rated it and when. We do not copy ratings from AllSides, Ad Fontes Media or Media Bias/Fact Check, because their data is licensed for non-commercial use. Our method, rubric and change log are public, and you can dispute any rating.
How many outlets do you cover?
427 outlets in 75 countries: 379 news outlets and 48 opinion or commentary sources, kept separate. 5 of them are state-controlled and labelled as such. Of the news outlets, 25% are left, 50% center and 25% right of center; the center is the largest group. 5 state-controlled news outlets are listed separately and are not counted in these shares. The right of center was widened in October 2026, but the list only includes outlets with a usable public feed, so it is a sample, not a census of the media. We say so on the ratings page.
Is The Analyst a fact-checker?
No. It shows how outlets across the spectrum cover a story, and which stories one side is barely covering. It does not judge individual claims. Always read the original reporting.
Do you republish articles?
No. We read public RSS feeds (headlines and short summaries) and link you to the publisher for the full story.
