You are probably familiar with the “Media Bias Chart,” which is produced by Otero’s company. The mission of Ad Fontes Media is “to make news consumers smarter and news media better.” They do this by rating the news for reliability and bias to help people navigate the news landscape.

Grading the News - Part II (w/guest James Warren from NewsGuard)

The Utterly Moderate Podcast is the official podcast of Connors Institute for Nonpartisan Research and Civic Engagement at Shippensburg University.
The core mission of the Connors Institute is to disseminate high-quality nonpartisan information to the public.
Utterly Moderate is hosted by Lawrence Eppard, a researcher, university professor, and director of the Connors Institute. On each episode, Eppard is joined by a guest (or two or three!) who helps listeners understand important topics by focusing on just the weight of the empirical evidence and none of the unneeded opinions or political agendas. We are aggressively nonpartisan in our approach.
