Product summary

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/

Innovative concept; the Nutrition Labels are great for researching the various news outlets.

La trovo molto utile. Aspetto app per smartphone, e non vedo l'ora che valuti anche Facebook

Very useful for distinguishing reliable news sources from fake ones. The judgment criteria are transparent and the same for all the sites reviewed: a guarantee for the user

NewGuard does a good job of separating biased propaganda vs. professional journalism. We certainly need that these days.

Great extension. Some people expect Newsguard to call out news that isn't music to their ears. They want to stay in their own echo chamber and have every other point of view rendered false. Good luck to you. As for me, I am grateful that Newsguard seeks to call out sites that run demonstrably false information, or in the case of coronavirus, dangerous information. It does that job well.

A great extension and resource. With so much misleading news out there, it's nice to have a resource that warns you to be care and double check some misleading articles that may lean one way or the other and by not sharing the full story so "YOU" can make an informed decision. I've reviewed may of the sites rated good and bad by this and based on my research have found it to be on target.

This is a great concept and well executed: lets me find out which sites are likely to fail some basic measurable qualities of sound properly researched journalism. In these days of fake news, misinformation and paid-for pitching, those basic qualities are worth remembering and this app really helps!

Love this browser extension. Before I subscribed, I "checked up" on some of their ratings by verifying info from various news sources and seeing that News Guard was not feeding my false ratings. They seem to have it down pretty good.

Worth the price of admission to see a site's credibility and transparency, either summarized or thoroughly vetted (aka Nutrition Label). Nice to see who owns the site and how it is funded.
