Discourse monitor
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 365 days under science. They are deliberately not narrowed by the reading filter, because a mean taken only over items already selected for their score would just restate the filter.

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