Comparing Mass Media Reports of the News
According to the news platform Newscompare, just 41 percent of Americans believe the mass media report the news “fully, accurately and fairly.” Even fewer Americans who are politically involved believe what they see on television, read in newspapers, or hear on radio. Newscompare is trying to change that. This one-of-a-kind, free news platform takes snapshots of major media outlets every hour and lines them up side-by-side, making it easy to teach media literacy. The media reports are also searchable by date and time.
