How RatedNews works
RatedNews is a community-powered news aggregator. We pull articles from 50+ outlets and let readers rate what they read. Every score you see comes from the community — no AI scoring.
The process
📡
1. Ingestion
Articles are pulled from RSS feeds across 50+ news outlets spanning the US, UK and international press.
👥
2. Community rating
Readers can rate articles with 1–5 stars and give their view on accuracy, bias, and headline fairness. Outlets can also be rated directly.
📊
3. Outlet scoring
Outlet scores are the average star rating across all reader ratings, expressed out of 100. The rating count is always shown so you can judge the sample size.
Score breakdown
⭐
Community Score
1 – 5 stars
The average star rating given by RatedNews readers, expressed out of 100 (5 stars = 100). The rating count is always displayed — a score from 3 ratings is far less reliable than one from 300.
Note: Community scores reflect reader perception, not independently verified fact. "Accurate" means the reader found the article credible based on what they know. Treat scores as collective signals, not verdicts.
