Are your bias ratings objective?
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.
