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/

It's fine for me but common sense is often better. It's good for those new to the internet

This is a great source. I use it with my journalism students to teach media literacy. I am disappointed by all the 1 star reviews by people with low media literacy. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance going on in these reviews here. Goodness. Let me ask you this -- if they were truly biased in favor of the liberal media, why is Fox News (technically) rated green? Sheesh. Also, the 9 standards of credibility listed on their website say nothing about whether a news source is liberal or conservative. Maybe some people are just bitter that the news site that confirms all their suspicions isn't actually as credible -- or evidence-based -- as they thought...

Great. When source is listed as invalid you can check why is that, so all those people saying here it is propaganda are wrong.

Many complain about "Fake News" still coming through. Which is only partially true because most fake news sites are filtered out. You should also be weary about the political alignment of the corperation behind it, Microsoft being a american multi billion corporation many have complained about the bad ratings of right leaning news outlets and others have complained about the bad ratings of non western news outlets like Sputnik, RT, and the good ratings of websites like The Sun or the German equivalent Die Bild, which published fake news in the past and don't follow basic journalistic standards, which, again, is very understandable. Overall a handy tool to have to help you double check information and to make researching easier, even if by far not all news sites are registered in their data banks and you still shouldn't trust them blindly.

Un'estensione utile per capire cosa sta dietro ai siti di news. Non bisogna limitarsi a leggere il «foglietto illustrativo» ma, per capire bene cosa si sta leggendo, è utile approfondire con l'«etichetta nutrizionale completa», dove si possono trovare informazioni approfondite sugli assetti proprietari, esempi di fake news, linea editoriale, etc. Secondo me è un ottimo lavoro, ovviamente non esente da critiche come accade sempre quando si esprimono opinioni (ad esempio, è giudicato attendibile un sito come il Daily Mail); tuttavia qui si cerca di essere il più oggettivi possibili.
