Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

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/

Like the way it just sits unobtrusively, and gives an easy portal to help me assess the sources being shared.

how can a site that doesnt handle distinguishing fact from opinion pass their check? that is how these sites spread their misinformation. they rely on their readers not fact checking. at least distinguish which part of the news they are distorting. you shouldnt be able to spread misinformation over and over again and be able to pass the check.i did pay for a subscription and i like the idea. you should collaborate with poynter?

In a sea of misinformation, we need something to guide us. I also think it's great the extension is staying free for educators. I'm happy paying monthly to keep it free for the people responsible for the next generation

This was a decent-ish tool up until they started FALSELY ADVERTISING themselves as a "free service". About a month ago, they began charging for what is still being advertised as a free service. The catch is you now have to enter your credit card info in order to receive a "trial".

1 star for the simple fact that they don't give a green check to Drudge Report, the most highly trafficked and trusted news site on the planet. They give Breitbart a green check but not Drudge? What are they smoking?
