How the monitored publications were assessed

Discourse valence across every scored item: what the sampled sources published and how independent models read it. It is not a measure of public opinion, not a measure of the state of the world, and article volume is not agreement.

Across the whole window

The two tables below describe every item in the last 180 days under education. They are deliberately not narrowed by the reading filter (currently adverse), because a mean taken only over items already selected for their score would just restate the filter.

By topic

By source

A source's mean says how the items it published were read. It is not a rating of the source.
