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.

First of all, I pay for and highly recommend this extension and service to my friends and family. Bias is one thing, but all NewsGuard does is put more information in front of you, collated in a professional and at least relatively unbiased way. I wish the check marks would give more specific information. All conservatives see is "leftists labeled it bad -- it must be good". When you dig into the actual reports, it's always facts. The presentation of them may be biased, but it's much more meaningful to see "XXXXX published these 6 articles making the following claims" than it is to see "XXXXX 3/12 don't listen to them".
This app works extremely well and is completely transparent as to the "journalistic virtues" that it is based on. Some highly partisan sources -- both left and right == do not like being flagged as biased (or worse). Newsguard is reacting to their structure -- e.g., having an appeal process -- and not the tenor of their coverage. Pushing online media to be MORE FAIR to all concerned is important, and Newsguard does it.
I never leave ratings on the web for a lot of reasons. But it's important to understand how vital this service can be as a step towards reason and facts. I may disagree with Steven Brill and some of the founders, advisers, and investors in NewsGuard, but I trust them. Trust and agreement are two separate things, a truth often lost in this world today from many political persuasions. Let's give Truth a chance. Support NewsGuard. This is a worthwhile endeavor and a worthwhile Chrome extension.
So useful in helping you decide how much to trust a source! Note it's worth clicking on the icon to see the more detailed scoring. E.g. The Intercept, although green overall, has a poor rating for distinguishing between news and opinion. In fact, I wish this had a bigger weight in the overall score.
Absolutely essential part of the tool box for detecting fake news. Highly recommended.
Its ok but has serious bias problems. If you constantly give mainstream or VC funded websites a green check mark then use those same outlets to fact check others you create a negative feedback loop. Eventually your own bias is being fed back to you and you assume that the sites you consider reliable are posting true information and use that bias to incorrectly rate their political rivals Why would a left wing activist website like Media Matters, which has repeatedly published lies and false information, be green but Daily Wire, a conservative opinion site, be red? If the concern is that daily wire has published a few false stories then why not go after Buzzfeed who has done the same? Newsguard is trapped in a bubble and they dont even realize it
Good service, but I mostly read the news on my phone. It would be great if they could get it working on phones.
Wonderful, completely un-biased, objective analysis of news sources. Includes all sorts of sites and its measurements are completely transparent and open (ratings and analysis are explained in detail to let the consumer make the decision on whether to trust information on each site). I am a happy subscriber to help weed out the fake sites.
This is an absolute must-use for me. I care very much about the stories and articles I share and take responsibility for posting accurate information. NewsGuard is my first go-to to help me determine if a site is factual or propaganda.
The best rating extension so far. It works mostly on English-websites but I hope it will expand with the support of its users. You can access the methodology and evidence about the assessment of every website. Don't let trolls and low-critically minded people to tell you that it is biased - it is an excellent tool against the fake news, propaganda, and other low-quality content websites.
