I find it so frustrating when friends and family are so deep in their echo chambers, they no longer can agree on a shared reality. Ground News helps change that, showing you how every story is being covered by every outlet, right, left, center. They even show you which stories are being ignored by news companies on one side of the aisle. It’s a simple idea that is executed wonderfully. Thank you for your kind words The_App_Docto! I'm delighted to hear you're finding the app useful in today's news environment.

I try. But there are too many sources and too many names to keep track of. Ground News has not only introduced me to a myriad of new outlets, but lets me know their particular outlook. I’m from the 3 TV stations era, so Ground News is a total game changer. THANK YOU!!! Thanks very much for your 5 star review BD Pups!

Ground News is a platform that allows users to compare news outlets, check bias, and detect blind spots in their media consumption. Every article on Ground News is accompanied by a bias and factuality rating system derived from independent news monitoring organizations like All Sides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias/Fact Check. Knowing the bias of a media outlet can help students understand how and why a story is being framed a certain way, while the factuality rating provides insight into the reporting practices of the... Ground News does not fact-check or assess the bias of individual articles.

The reality is, fact-checking is very difficult to do in real time at scale. Ground News analyzes the bias and factuality of news outlets, not individual articles. The Blindspot feature highlights stories that are receiving lopsided coverage. This is a great way to talk about polarization, algorithms, and newsworthiness. What stories do media outlets choose to cover and why? How does this impact newsreaders?
