FAQ

Learn more about how we rate bias, assess transparency, and bring clarity to the news. Find out how our platform works and why understanding media bias matters for informed decision-making.

What is the purpose of this platform?

Our platform helps readers identify media bias and transparency in news coverage. By providing bias ratings for news articles and sources, readers are empowered to make informed decisions about the news they consume.

As we say, transparency drives truth. We try to ensure that ratings are as objective as possible. Here’s how: our bias ratings start with an AI analysis of a journalist’s or media outlet’s published content. That analysis is then evaluated by a ratings engine which cross-references informational attributes of the e content, its author, and its publishing outlet in order to roll that bias rating up to the appropriate contributing sources. The end result is an aggregated bias rating for journalists and their media outlets based on our analysis of all their published content. . Subject matter experts perform continuous qualitative reviews of our ratings..
We update our assessments by analyzing the published words for new content, regardless of an outlet’s or journalist’s previous rating. This approach is unique to MediaPedia and ensures that its analyses are fair and up-to-date.
Disagree with a rating? We’re always seeking ways to improve our product and welcome feedback for our quality team to review.
