Show Notes
Here at The Newsworthy, we work hard to deliver news roundups with as little bias as possible. We look at a variety of news sources, even for just one story. We do our best to cite credible sources that are perceived as both right and left-leaning in the hopes of bringing you multiple perspectives in every episode and earning your trust.
But which sources are left and right-leaning? And are there any that fall right in the center? Well, AllSides doesn't just guess or give their opinion about it – they've done scientific analysis. That's what we're talking about today with our guest, Julie Mastrine.
She developed the AllSides Media Bias Chart and is their director of marketing and media bias ratings. She's made it her mission to educate news consumers about bias and is sharing 'behind the scenes' of her media ratings in our conversation right now.
