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/

Two big issues. --- 1. It has a subscribtion mode with 2 weeks trial. 2. USAToday is still 100/100 after they have fabricated at least 23 news outlets. This is just corporate shilling.

NewsGuard editors are shills and hacks; they lie, and work towards making publishers look as poorly as possible. They lied about my news company I sold calling it "defunct" just because I am no longer there anymore trying to make me look bad when it remains a living thriving media business. I told them they should correct it twice, two years in a row... They do not care about accuracy, only their agenda. App is worthless. Red should signal what to believe and green should signal sites to avoid. Totally unreliable.

Nur für diejenigen geeignet die sich keine eigene Meinung mehr bilden wollen bzw. können. Letztendlich eine Vorstufe zur Meinungsdiktatur bzw geradlinig zum Wahrheitsministerium von 1984.
