I particularly like the integration with Facebook and the transparency in how the ratings are calculated. You can drill down to see exactly what the nine criteria are and why a particular site was given the score it was.

O.k., elephant in the room. Yes, right-wing media has more 'misleading' titles and use charged words. However, Buzzfeed and Vox are literally just as bad. So is this app bias? Well, yes, in that it allows a more accurate assessment of right-wing media vs. left-wing media... at times. The main strong news sources are rated fairly accurately. The real bias exists in that it doesn't treat both extremes equally. You will find more reputable news on the left, it's simply a byproduct of the nature of right leaning sources gearing news as more inflammatory and agitated. However, they do not look for those same elements when they are being used in turn by SOME left-leaning (usually hard leans) on the other side. Bias, but still MOSTLY fair.

I have been using news guard for several months and like the concept of rating reliability for news reporting. It saves time as I can bypass articles that do not satisfy the criteria set up by news guard.

A great sanity check on news sources. While you may doubt the overall rating for some sites, you can always drill down and see the report card and evaluate for yourself. Especially useful for sites you aren't familiar with.

Very thoughtful evaluation of self-described newsites. Some may quibble with the specifics of each rating but the analysis of each site is balanced. I'd like to see more gradations in the color coding to reflect the gradations of the scores themselves.

Every competitive endeavor needs an arbiter. Whether it is in a national election, or a courtroom trial, or a tennis court, or a chess match. Of course the judges are human, with all the complexities that go with that. But most arbiters try VERY hard to be objective, and take pride in the fairness they bring to the competition. NewsGuard is there at the top with the very best. They lean in to the wind of adversity, and take the high road to fairness. Trust is earned. They have mine.

Das einzig richtige Konzept! Wer eine "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" erwartet, wird mit seinen erhöhten Erwartungen nur unzufrieden sein. Bei Unzufriedenheit, weil fehlerhaft oder so, kann ja jeder auch mit NewsGuard kommunizieren. Alles andere ist "pure" Meinungsfreiheit, bei der es weniger um fundierte Meinungsmitteilung und ggfs. Diskussion geht als um Stimmungsmache.

I am a subscriber. I like the way NewsGuard encourages me to read round topics and challenges an inherent laziness to do so. I also like, really like, their rating table though was disappointed that they buckled under the Daily Mail's legal-backed threat when that was initially adversely rated.

Easy to Use once installed. Grade cards for news sources, even in social media feeds, are easy to understand and useful in a time of an exploding number of 'news' sources and sensationalist headlines.

My profession, strategic communications, relies on facts. They are a cornerstone of what we do today more that ever before. It is wonderful to have NewsGuard in my corner as I can easily assess whether a source is fact, fiction or just plain unknown. It allows me to easily and effectively counsel my clients.
