Read the source. Compare the evidence.
A direct route to the organizations in your news mix, with short source guides and headline digests loaded only when you request them.
No source is free of editorial judgment. Compare accounts, distinguish reporting from opinion, and follow links to the evidence. Public broadcasters are government-funded or publicly funded; this collection is not a government-free information stream.
How to use this mix
Start with two reporting sources for a developing story. Use fact-checkers to examine a specific claim and their supporting documents. Use data to test long-term trends. For public events, compare the coverage with the full recording and surrounding context.
Wire reports are edited journalism. Fact-check ratings are conclusions to evaluate. Data can originate with governments, international institutions, or research groups. C-SPAN carries full event coverage as well as interviews and other programming; a recording documents what was said, not whether it was true.
