Full summary

Wondering if a news article you came across is worth your time? Is it well-researched? Is it too opinionated? Is it written by a reporter who is knowledgeable about the topic?

The Factual’s automatically evaluates how informative a news article is based on four factors:

  1. Diversity and extent of sources
  2. Level of opinionatedness
  3. Author expertise on topic
  4. Site's historical reputation.

The Factual’s grades are instantly displayed on any news article in your browser and even injected directly into your Facebook or Twitter feed.
