Product summary

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 so easy to believe sources that agree with your viewpoint. It's so easy to label anything that challenges your viewpoint as fake news. It's normal. It's natural. We all do it. How can we ever find agreement if we trust different news sources with opposite spins on the same information. These journalists created a list of objective criteria and compare every site to the same list of objective criteria. This isn't about agreeing with their ratings, it's about analyzing their objective measurements and challenging your biased bubble. Grow up and truly challenge the news sources you trust. Challenge this extension, read what they have to say. This is exactly what we need right now.

Usually pretty reliable. I'm hoping scope and coverage will increase over time. Huge job of course.

NewsGuard has been a great help for me to establish what is the right source of information. Not only that, it helped me to debunked many of the information shared by others. Although I may not ever rely fully on it, but this has been a great added indicator.

I heard about this extension after watching a course from The Great courses called Fighting Misinformation: Digital Media Literacy. I find this very useful for both medical and news. If your favorite source is having issues with the rate system, forward the report to see if they will make changes such as disclose ownership information or posting corrections.

I find this app or extension very accurate and unbiased. The explanations a offered in the complete "nutrional label" arer exact and fact based. Well worth the cost. I think people who berated this app due to its "bias" don't' understand the word what the word "bias" means. A studied result that may be unfavorable is not a "bias," it is a honest evaluation. This app is so helpful I recomend it to everyone.

Very useful for research purposes. Identifies invalid web sites and saves lots of time.

I believe that the team is doing the online world a ton of good. People may disagree at the margins - but I find their nutrition guides to be clear and transparent. I've seen some of the negative reviews (and the positive ones). We as humans want to be reassured that what we believe is the definitive view of the truth - and it hurts us when that is questioned. Understanding journalistic standards matters because much activism is presented as definitive truths. It isn't help on either side of the divide and I believe NewsGuard helps expose non-transparent behavior.

Newsguard makes news sites so much more transparent by providing relevant information about the way they gather information and do business. It's very helpful.

It is a valued tool for recognizing which media outlets make an effort to provide objective, factual news reports. For each media outlet, NewsGuard provides the ranking categories and metrics that help define the final rating. It will never override knee-jerk reactions of those bent to some favorite source that simply preaches to the choir (whether MSNBC, Breitbart, or Drudge, et. al.) but overall it does a good job defining which media are more trustworthy.

Il fatto di poter avere dettagli su quanto un sito sia trasparente offre di per sè la possibilità di provvedere a valuatare autonomamente l'affidabilità dei contenuti proposti. Il fatto che la valutazione si basi su parametri oggettivi è garanzia della bassa manipolabilità dei risultati mostrati, e per questo reputo quest'app affidabile, così come lodevole il lavoro di chi ci sta dietro. Peccato per le valutazioni negative fatte per motivi personali, da parte di chi non accetta che il proprio sito di riferimento non possa essere considerato affidabile secondo criteri oggettivi, ma questo è il limite proprio delle persone che a tali siti si appoggiano: analfabetismo funzionale e scarsa capacità di analisi.
