Public Beta — be the first to review
Three signals per outlet, each weighted by reviewer track record. No single editor decides.
Paste a news article or outlet URL. Star rating, bias slider, accuracy radio, one sentence. Detailed reviews are optional — most reviews stay short.
Your vote weight scales with your review history quality. Drive-by extremes count less than reviewers with track records across the bias spectrum. Brigading dampens automatically.
Every outlet page shows the full vote histogram, not just the average. Polarized outlets look polarized. Consensus outlets look consensus. Outliers self-disclose.
See who the crowd rates where on the spectrum.
News, creators, politicians, journalists.

Web Jury is a crowd-sourced platform that aggregates trust-weighted reader reviews into bias and accuracy scores for thousands of news outlets, journalists, and creators. AllSides covers 600 outlets with 5 editors; Web Jury covers thousands using crowd voting with brigading defenses.
Every review includes a vote on a 7-point bias spectrum (Far Left through Far Right). Votes are trust-weighted by reviewer history quality, and the public score uses a weighted median (not mean) to resist brigading. Every outlet page shows the full vote distribution.
AllSides uses a 5-editor team and has rated about 600 outlets in 10 years. Web Jury aggregates crowd votes and scales to thousands of outlets, with brigading defenses (trust-weighted voting, distribution visibility, temporal smoothing) and a free public API. Different precision-vs-coverage trade-off.
Yes. Reading, reviewing, and using the public API at standard rate limits are all free. Paid tiers exist for higher API volume, sponsored entity responses, and removing the watermark from embed badges.
Three layers: (1) trust-weighted voting — vote weight scales with reviewer history quality, (2) full vote distribution publicly visible on every outlet page, (3) temporal smoothing caps any single-day shift in the public score at about five points. Sustained shifts require sustained crowds, not coordinated raids.
Yes. Verified outlets can claim their entity page (via email at a verified domain, social-account proof, or DNS TXT record). Claimed outlets can publish a brief on-page response that appears alongside their rating.
