Hi PH- here is a link to my story and inspiration for launching Ground News Pro https://medium.com/@harleen_kaur... TLDR: Being a former NASA engineer I believe that understanding news should not be harder than rocket science. Launching Ground News Pro the world’s first news source comparison platform that will help voters make better-informed decisions, drawing from more than 40,000 news sources worldwide and featuring an average of 30,000 news stories per day. Some features that set up apart: - Compare news sources per story and see extreme versions ( that your friends and neighbours might be reading) - Sort news sources by Bias, Time and Location - Follow over 150k topics, sources, locations

@harleen_kaur @harleen Does the bias track the assumed political leanings of the publications alone or actual biased sentiment in the content of the articles - or both?

This is very cool, although I wouldn't say it's the first - spidr.today accomplishes something similar. Regardless, this is an impressive implementation and I'm excited to give it a shot.

@savannah_king_norton Thanks Savannah! Yes, please do give it a shot and feedback is very welcome! I took a quick look at spidr, will check it out more after PH. One thing we really emphasize at Ground News is the bias of each news publication. Eg. this story about Iran has Iranian, Israeli, US and sources from all over the world from left and right https://app.ground.news/article/...

Great product. I'm personally tired of the main stream news outlets only focusing on news stories that give them the most viewers and cause the most outrage among them. And since there is so much misinformation and bias out there in other news sources, it's hard to trust any of them. As of a result, I feel that it can seem overwhelming and people start ignoring the headlines. If we all use apps like Ground to consume and verify our news sources, we can all collectively put more pressure on the news sources to do better!

I've been looking for something like this for a while! It's super useful to see what different countries report on - not only to see what they talk about but also to see what they don't talk about. That's the best way to see through the propaganda and understand what each country is afraid of. For example, I remember seeing that China barely reported on the Arab Spring, and when they did it was super biased, and that says a lot about the country.
