## NewsGuard Description
NewsGuard's reliability ratings for news and information sources help users make decisions about which news sources to trust—and avoid misinformation and disinformation. 
 
Our ratings, scores, and Nutrition Labels for websites are displayed next to links on search engines and social media platforms and cover all the news websites accounting for 95% of online engagement.
 
Ratings are conducted by a team of experienced journalists using nine basic, apolitical journalistic criteria. Each site receives a trust score of 0-100, an overall rating level ranging from “High Credibility” to “Proceed with Caution,” and a thorough Nutrition Label report detailing the site’s ownership and financing, content, credibility practices, transparency practices, and history.

NewsGuard gives you all the context you need as you read news online. Try NewsGuard today for free with a two-week trial. After two weeks, membership costs just $4.95/month in the U.S. and Canada, £4.95 in the UK, €4.95 in the EU, or $6.95 in Australia and New Zealand.
 
NewsGuard is for personal use only. Any commercial, research, or other non-personal use of NewsGuard is strictly prohibited by our Terms of Service:

## NewsGuard Reviews in United States

### *---- "Radical leftist narratives, pay to play operation"
This is an operation that pushed narratives in-support of cv19 based on Pharma lobbying, censored hunter Biden stories and generally push ideology that aligns with the radical left. News media that this operation suggests are traditional “mainstream media” aka the outfits that said Kamala Harris would win in a landslide.
-- num3wz, 2024-11-21

### ****- "Important tool against fake news"
Ignore the reviews from angry people who claim NewsGuard is biased. NewsGuard uses the same methodology to rate every site. Try it out and see for yourself.
-- %<>%, 2024-11-19

### ***** "Excellent transparency thank you!"
I love that Newsguard "shows its work" by telling us the criteria used and why the reviewer(s) rated each source as it did. Now if you can just keep it up to date with policy and leadership changes it will be perfect! ps please review Morningstar.com. Then you'll be perfect.
-- dtoyd, 2024-08-19

### *---- "Worse app"
This app is not to be trusted; the information they provided have some programed codes that don’t give accurate information be aware that whoever is behind this app is not square with the fact they provide.
-- Erickac1988, 2024-07-09

### *---- "Should be called the: Democrat Party Press app"
There’s a very good reason why Prager University is suing this organization. The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, all get top ratings. While decent news organizations although right leaning get much lower ratings. It’s obviously Clickbait for the left leaning don’t take the bait do your own research
-- Aspeedy, 2024-01-20

### *---- "Bias on top of bias on top of bias"
I wanted to give this a fair chance.  But it just gets silly as all roads take you to an extremely establishmentarian view that all “good,” cultured people with the latest and most-updated correct opinions share.  This is the work of a totalitarian mind who fears opinions that differ or challenge her own.
-- UB1, 2023-12-29

### *---- "Almost click bait"
I agree with many others. I think this is a valuable service, but that’s all because I can’t review the work that has been done without registering. And the maybe later button is actually “If you don’t want to pay, bye bye” You need to make it easier for potential customers to be able to judge whether you do what you say you do. It sounds good to me but I guess I’ll never know.
-- Jwhab, 2023-10-25

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
Decide to try free trial. Doesn’t work. It said there were no results for every sight I put in. I put in NBCNEWS.com and it said “no results”.  This app is not worth it. It doesn’t work
-- Jackdaws1979, 2023-06-22

### ***** "The Most Accurate Media Watchdog"
I’m a freelance journalist and run every source I use through Newsguard. I’m a moderate and have no stake in which sources get higher or lower ratings. This one is by far the most fair and accurate. If you read the news, use this please!
-- antidoteforsoma, 2023-03-11

### *---- "I can’t log in!"
It is impossible for me to log in to NewsGuard and verify news sites, even though I signed up for an account and started a subscription. Whenever I enter my credentials, it keeps demanding that I subscribe to use the app, even though I ALREADY have a subscription. When I try to renew my purchase, it glitches. 

If I have to pay a subscription, I should be paying for something that works. At least Media Bias Fact Check is available free of charge.
