Identifying Media Information Bias
AllSides is on a mission to enable a better informed and more empathetic populace – in order to strengthen our democratic society.By “democratic society”, we don’t only mean politics and self-governance, but also more generally how free people get
information, interact and communicate with each other, and make decisions as a group. This includes large and small corporations, non-profit organizations, schools, local and international communities, clubs – pretty much any setting in which people must come together to make the best decisions for them and their community.
We do this by freeing people from filter bubbles so they can better understand the world – and each other.
AllSides is the standard for information integrity. By revealing bias and providing perspectives from all sides, we help people better understand the world — and each other.
We believe information integrity requires:
-
Revealing and combating bias to avoid information manipulation and blindspots.
-
A breadth of perspectives to combat groupthink and false narratives.
-
Effective dialogue and deliberation to make the best decisions and implement them effectively with buy-in.
Information integrity is not only needed in news, but also in AI, businesses, schools, government, and throughout our daily lives.
Ground News was created to offer clarity in an increasingly chaotic media landscape. Our vision is positive coexistence where cooperative, civil debate is the norm, media is accountable, and critical thought is the baseline of our information consumption. We’re on a mission to well inform the world by empowering readers to think freely about the issues of our times.
Over the past decade, online news and ad-driven algorithms have made it profitable for news outlets to embrace a position on the bias spectrum to target specific consumers. Bias in the media affects everything from what events receive coverage, to how a news outlet frames those events in their reporting.
As media outlets narrow their perspective and range of coverage, it’s become impossible to consult a single news story for a well-rounded view on important issues.
Every day we process nearly 60,000 news articles from over 50,000 different news sources. Articles from different outlets covering the same event are merged into a single story, making it possible to get multiple perspectives in one place.
