About Ground News
Ground News groups articles from many outlets covering the same event into a single story, so you can see who is reporting it and how. Each source carries bias and factuality ratings drawn from independent media-rating organisations, and coverage bars show how much attention a story gets from left, centre and right-leaning outlets. Blindspot views highlight stories mostly ignored by one side, and paid tiers add ownership and funding information, a personal news-bias dashboard and more. The service processes tens of thousands of articles a day from a very large number of sources. A free tier lets you browse stories; subscription plans, billed monthly or annually, unlock the analysis tools, and there is a free trial. It runs on the web, with iOS and Android apps and a browser extension. It is not an RSS reader, and its ratings are only as good as the outside organisations it relies on, but it suits people who want to break out of a single viewpoint.
Best for: Readers who want to compare coverage and spot media bias across the political spectrum.
