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.

Extremely useful! I especially appreciate Newsguards' prioritization of clear standards for journalistic rigor and ethics - news sites are measured against the standards of their profession, not against the ideologies of their users.
I'm a bit biased, but I love NewsGuard!
What a great extension. I was a little skeptical because I've tried similar services but they only had the really big recognizable brands (NYT, CNN, Fox, etc.) and honestly what's the point of that? Everyone already has an opinion about how trustworthy those are. But this app has thousands of news sites on it including tons of local publications and more obsure online publications. And I like that they use specific criteria for their ratings and show the results tranparently. Way better than crowd sourcing it or any other way I've seen.
This is a biased news ratings plugin designed to decry perspective in journalism. The plugin itself is invasive and makes page load times sluggish. The simplistic red/green setup belies the utter waste of time it takes to get rated by NewsGuard, which means that it's a plugin no more useful than the hysteria lists from late 2016 which a few academics published to blacklist news websites that are not corporate. What's the point of creating an elaborate 9 point scale, when the plugin is little more than an opinion website itself. Downgrading a site to red because it has never had to make a correction is the height of insane literalism, but they do it. NewsGuard's criterion or reviewers cannot tell the difference between newsmaking interviews from people involved in current events and opinion stories. In one case, NewsGuard literally picked a single 2 year old tweet, which was deleted, as a basis for downgrading a website started over 18 months later. NewsGuard has a heavy bias towards absolute literalism that is inappropriate for understanding politics, which is not math. This is a useless plugin, which is too bad because the web needs a nuanced and intelligent product like this one, but it is dependent on the opinion of the people in charge, who don't believe they're biased, which is a shame, so I am uninstalling it. STILL INACCURATE: WON'T CORRECT OWN FALSE REPORTING, EVEN WHEN MAINSTREAM NEWS REPORTS THINGS ACCURATELY. YOU HAVE TO BEG THEM JUST TO CORRECT THEIR OWN BAD WORK. EVEN WORSE THEY CHARGE YOU TO SEE YOUR RATING. THIS IS TAKING WEBSITE EVALUATION TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR.
I have looked at their ratings and it seems to be pretty left leaning. Not sure I can trust it. CNN got 9 out of nine. That dont seem right????? Their going to have to do better than this.
Highly biased, and its evaluations are performed by only a small number of so-called "journalists". Of over 40 sites I selected, every known liberal biased site was given a "green" indication but not identified as liberal or left leaning. Conversely every conservative site was given a "red" indication, immediately identified as being "conservative" biased except for Fox News and two or three others. CNN was highly praised as the cream of the crop, truthful at all times and never presenting opinion as fact. This has been proven beyond any doubt to be untrue. If you value the truth do your own research and stay away from this obvious propaganda tool.
I think this extension could be very good at weeding out false news and news from dubious sources but it needs more people using it and crowd sourcing for rating articles like WoT has for rating sites. You shouldn't rely on this extension to tell you what sites to get your news from though, all it is trying to do is allow people to make informed decisions on what sources to get their news from.
Very good for research and to keep yourself informed on the accuracy of news sources.
VERY cool. Good job!
Gives news sites who have knowingly published false articles 9 out of 9.
