NewsGuard's reliability ratings for news and information sources help users make decisions about which news sources to trust—and avoid misinformation and disinformation.

Our ratings, scores, and Nutrition Labels for websites are displayed next to links on search engines and social media platforms and cover all the news websites accounting for 95% of online engagement.

Ratings are conducted by a team of experienced journalists using nine basic, apolitical journalistic criteria. Each site receives a trust score of 0-100, an overall rating level ranging from “High Credibility” to “Proceed with Caution,” and a thorough Nutrition Label report detailing the site’s ownership and financing, content, credibility practices, transparency practices, and history.

NewsGuard is for personal use only. Any commercial, research, or other non-personal use of NewsGuard is strictly prohibited by our Terms of Service: https://www.newsguardtech.com/terms-of-service/

After researching, the credibility of this company is solid, it was founded by established and trusted journalists and continues to be endorsed by them. They use objective journalistic standards to judge the websites and for the most part they do a great job. It is affordably priced and easy to cancel after your free-trial. However, considering the level of influence they have, there is a lot that is left out and they don't seem to be held accountable by anything other than the pride of accredited journalists and the AP (which is hefty at least). This leaves a worrying amount of room for bias or manipulation which will hopefully be remedied, HOWEVER, thus far the ratings are very accurate and well substantiated and anyone saying otherwise is silly and doesn't know how to read... It's not a definitive good or bad, but it's certainly a very useful starting place considering all the fake news to sift through.

If you needed an indication of the reliability of this service, just look at the negative reviews. Note how extreme they are and the content of their complaints. Thanks to this site's transparency and objective criteria, Its pretty obvious these ham-fisted reviews are nothing but unprincipled, futile attempts to diminish Newsguard's brand.

Absolutely necessary in an era where SM algorithms select for outrage and sensationallism, and the manipulations of foreign governments acting in bad faith have degraded the public forum with bots promoting unsourced garbage. False allegations are routinely and successfully disguised as statements of fact, such that 3 in 10 americans still believe the result of the 2020 election was fraudulent. Recently Newsguard's nutrition guide saved me from wasting days parsing BS from Zerohedge.com. Yeah, it's subscription, something like $5/mo but well worth every penny.

Ho avuto modo di poter provare l'estensione. Molto utile per avere fin da subito un idea su come leggere una notizia. Leggendo le altre recensioni dimostra anche di essere molto cresciuta in questi anni, ampliando il suo database di testate giornalistiche e blog divulgativi, e di aver aumentato i dettagli delle valutazioni fatte. L'unica pecca, facilmente rimediabile, (forse è successo solamente a me) è l'attivazione dell'estensione macchinosa. Avevo difficoltà nell'accedere e successivamente era necessario riavviare il browser per poterla utilizzare.
