Media Bias
- The Media Bias Chart was created by Vanessa Otero. It lays out the complexities of the media landscape in two dimensions: reliability, on the vertical axis, and bias, on the horizontal axis. The chart is interactive and each media source can be viewed on its own to clearly see where it falls on the chart.
- Media Bias/Fact Check is a site "that has promoted awareness of media bias and misinformation by rating the bias, factual accuracy, and credibility of media sources, large and small."
- A smaller chart that focuses on the most popular media sources can be found from AllSides.
