About News Ranker

A place where anyone can rate the core truth of an article and see which outlets readers find most credible.

How scoring works

• Each rating answers three questions on a 1–5 scale: are the facts accurate, are claims sourced, does the headline match the story.
• An article's score is the average of its ratings; an outlet's score averages every rating on its articles.
• One rating per article per browser (stored with an anonymous cookie). You can change yours any time.
• Outlets are ranked only after 3 ratings, so one vote can't top the chart.

Where headlines come from

BBC News, NPR, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, PBS NewsHour, CBS News, Deutsche Welle and France 24 via their public RSS feeds, plus Hacker News via its free API. Anyone can add other links.

Scores are crowd opinions, not professional fact-checks. For those, see PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, Snopes or Full Fact.
