Overview

What is Ground News?

Reading past the headline

Ground News groups reports from outlets covering the same event, then shows each publisher's political lean, factuality rating, and ownership. The useful unit is the comparison page: scan headline framing across left, center, and right sources rather than trusting one feed. Basic browsing is useful without payment; subscriptions expose more analysis and fewer limits. Ratings describe outlets, not definitive judgments on every article, so treat them as prompts for closer reading.

Three practical checks

Breaking news: Compare wording and see which political side is giving a story more attention.
Blind spots: Find topics heavily covered by one side but barely visible to another.
Media literacy: Use ownership context and source histories to discuss incentives in a classroom or reading group.
