As the debate over the prejudice of the media intensifies in the US presidential election, the new research is not a systematic bias from the fact that the conservative news agency has low reliability, but the actual comparison. It suggests that it is reflected.
According to a comprehensive analysis of complexity scientific hubs, the NEWSGUARD, a major media reliability evaluation service, evaluates more than 11,000 news sources in nine countries, and has a conservative outlet in either the selection process or evaluation. There was no evidence of discrimination.
“It is unlikely that NewsGuard has a unique bias to conservative information sources. Instead, the right -wing information source that tends to comply with specialized editing practices in US media systems. Is overflowing, “said Jula Lühing, the main writer of the complex science hub research.
Research published in Journal of Quantitative Description: Digital MediaSince 2022, we have investigated newsguards in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, France, Germany, Austria, Australia and New Zealand.
The next Trump administration and the parliamentary parliamentary members of the Congress have been discovered at an important moment because they accuse the news guard for being targeted for incorrect information researchers and censorship of conservative news sites.
The survey revealed that US news sources would always receive lower reliability scores, especially in the right outlets on the right. However, researchers have found that this reflects objective standards, not the prejudice of ideology.
“The smaller (super) party -like source tends to lack editing practices and transparent scale. These are important criteria for NewsGuard, so the overall trust is made based on the NewsGuard standards. Lühring explained, “Lühring explained.
Researchers manually verified NewsGuards in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. “We checked the source of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany manually, but we found that the news site with considerable traffic in the database was hardly overlooked. The site that we missed is. Ryling pointed out, “is not systematically biased in political ideology.”
JANA LASSER, a research co -co -author of Graz University, emphasized how these discoveries were built in previous studies. The results were consistent with the 2023 survey published in PNAS Nexus, and it was found that the evaluation of NewsGuard consistently consistent with other factors’ evaluation.
While verifying the overall reliability of NewsGuard, researchers have identified potential restrictions on how to use the database. They warned the simplified binary reliability labels, which could affect the validity of several wrong information research.
“Using binary” reliable “” unreliable “classification tends to change the database over time, which may lead to a major fluctuation of the measured illness rate. I understand, “said Lasser. The team recommends using a more subtle continuous point score system in NewsGuard.
In particular, in the election season, this study provides an important context to understand how media reliability is evaluated, as incorrect information concerns continue to form public discourse. 。 The survey results suggest that improving conservative outlet reliability evaluation is necessary to deal with the basic issues of editing practices rather than adjusting the evaluation system itself.
