AllSides

Hello!

One appreciated resource at the public library reference desk where I work is AllSides as it provides coverage of any given news story from multiple perspectives. Looking closely at the various articles listed for any given story reveals how different authors and organizations present the facts (often an education all on its own):
https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news AllSides also provides a media bias chart which is helpful when one wants to vet an unfamiliar source: https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings Finally, they are fairly transparent as to how they create the media bias chart, even accepting user input: https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings#ratings

Hi Gretchen,

I love AllSides! Have you seen Media Bias Fact Check as well? They examine political bias in addition to a fact checking and credibility rating: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/
