GN builds media-savvy readers. On GN, propaganda is obvious. Even if true, propaganda can manipulate us if we're too emotional. Bias, harder to define & apply, but GN's outlet-bias rating is a critical 1st step. It causes us to think about why and how a story exists. Democracy requires it.

There are three sides to every story. What you think happened, what I think happened and what actually happened. And with such a wide division between political rivals, it's great to see all three sides in one location.

I like the fact that I have access to news organizations that I would never have had come across on my own. I have discovered a lot of good independent news agencies that deserve more attention.

Who is behind Ground News?Ground News is a small team of 18 media outsiders, based in Ontario, Canada. Ground News is co-founded by siblings Harleen Kaur (ex-NASA) and Sukh Singh (ex-Bain). Ground is backed by a handful of mission-aligned independent individual investors, with no ties to corporate media, big tech, or government affiliations.
In addition to our team, Ground is supported by our community of subscribers who resonate with our team’s mission to improve the online news environment.
How do I make the most of a Ground News subscription?A Ground News subscription offers something for everyone. A single subscription unlocks unique features on the Ground News website, the mobile app (for iOS and Android), and exclusive bubble-bursting newsletters – so you can find balanced coverage, wherever and however you prefer to read the news.
You can also use your subscription alongside the Ground News browser extension, which reveals the media bias bar for news stories you find anywhere online, including social media.
What’s included in a Vantage subscription?Ground News Vantage gives you personalized news recommendations, access to bias and factuality ratings, and full customization of My Feed in the Ground News mobile app. You also have exclusive access to all of Ground News’ newsletters.
Vantage also gives you full access to the Ground News website. That includes ownership data (who owns the news you read) and Ground News’ key feature: My News Bias.
My News Bias gives you insight into your reading habits. Being aware of the news you’ve read recently gives you greater control over your news diet, so you can ensure you don’t miss stories that you wouldn’t typically read. My News Bias gives you Blindspot story suggestions, what controversial issues are happening in the world today, the overall ownership data and factuality score of the news you’ve been reading, and more. The more you read, the more insights you’ll find in My News Bias.
How does the rating system on Ground News work?The Ground team does not evaluate the bias or factuality ratings on news publications or stories – we leave that to the experts. Bias and factuality ratings are averaged from the published ratings from three third-party independent news publication monitoring organizations, when available: All Sides, Ad Fontes Media, and Media Bias Fact Check.
Ratings are not static and can evolve over time. If you disagree with a rating, you can always select “Edit Bias Rating” to share your personal rating on the Ground News app and website.
