RatedNews readers give New Scientist 5.0 out of 5 for overall trustworthiness, based on 1 community rating of overall trustworthiness. Scores update continuously as readers rate.
RatedNews doesn't assign New Scientist a left/right label. Its 5.0/5 score measures overall reader trust, not political position — readers judge for themselves, outlet by outlet, whether coverage deserves their trust.
Every score comes from reader ratings — there is no AI or editorial scoring. Readers rate New Scientist's overall trustworthiness with a one-tap star rating, and those ratings roll up into the community score shown on this page.
