Balanced Media Extension

Balanced Media: break yourself out of the echo chamber by finding articles that represent multiple perspectives.

YOU:
Rate articles on two metrics:
1. Whether the article includes your perspective.
2. The political bias of the article.

BALANCED MEDIA:
Tells you
1. whether the articles you read include perspectives across the political spectrum.
2. the political bias of the articles you read.

Balanced Media recommends articles to you that include perspectives from across the political spectrum. By helping people learn about other perspectives, we can create a more empathetic, united America.

________________________________________________________________

Add the extension to your browser in seconds and browse news like normal. Balanced Media will pop up and prompt you to rate the article you're reading.
