A Chrome extension for seeing through the news
Introducing Augmented Media Literacy.
Your enhanced media literacy Chrome extension for news content. We don’t tell you what to think. We help you see through media, and decide for yourself.
What it shows you
Clickbait and headlines
Scores the headline against a clickbait taxonomy, so you can see the gap between what a headline promises and what the article delivers.
Emotional language
Highlights words carrying emotional charge as you read. Objective reporting uses very few of them, so the density itself tells you something.
Sources and viewpoints
Shows who is quoted in a piece, how they are quoted, and which points of view are represented — and which are missing.
Consensus
Coming soonWe look at major news event reporting and compare sentence by sentence between media outlets for key points of consensus.
“We aim to provide a level of media literacy to any news reader that could only be achieved after reading thousands of articles.”
We are an international team based in Finland and the United States. Finland ranks first in Europe’s Media Literacy Index, published by the Open Society Institute – Sofia. Our goal is to make that level of literacy available to anyone, anywhere, in the article they happen to be reading.
