Clarity

What is Clarity?

Clarity is a platform that shows how mainstream media covers different topics over time. It tracks how coverage is divided across the left, center, and right of the political spectrum, with filters to focus on specific days or on how much attention a topic receives. That makes it easier to spot stories some outlets are overlooking — or giving heavy airtime to. Coverage spans politics, science, domestic and foreign affairs, and trending news, and the platform also publishes a balanced weekly news summary.

Who created Clarity?

Clarity was developed by a team of developers and analysts. Its mission is to give users a practical tool for analyzing media bias across the political spectrum.

Who is Clarity for?

Clarity suits journalists, media and political analysts, researchers, news editors, reporters, policy analysts, social scientists, content creators, and other media professionals who need an objective view of how news is framed across the political spectrum. Typical uses include spotting topics that parts of the media are ignoring or over-emphasizing, comparing how outlets on different sides cover the same story, and following quickly developing stories through alerts.
