FICTIONAL DEMONSTRATION · Stories and media outlets are invented for the prototype; not real news reporting.

TRANSPARENCY & STANDARDS

Facts first.
Framing second.

The Perspective Press is designed to distinguish the underlying event from the way different publications report it. This prototype uses entirely fictional sample stories and fictional outlet names; its ratings are demonstrations, not real editorial findings.

The structure of every story

First, a full-width factual summary describing the event. When there is a meaningful difference in coverage, three columns explain the actual emphases observed in left-, center-, and right-leaning reporting. No comparison is displayed when the coverage substantially agrees.

The disagreement scale

00

Broad agreement

Sources share the core facts and substantially similar framing; a three-column comparison would be redundant.

01

Different emphasis

Different outlets foreground different consequences, voices, or priorities while retaining the essential factual context.

02

Material context gap

One or more accounts omit or fail to support a fact necessary to understand the event accurately. Identify the specific gap, not just a difference in opinion.

03

Verified false claim

A specific factual assertion is contradicted by strong evidence. A false statement does not, by itself, establish an intentional lie.

Publication principle

Real editions should contain traceable source links. Ratings should be based on what identifiable articles actually say, rather than stereotypes about news organizations. High-risk allegations should not be published automatically without sufficient verification and appropriate review.

Because this is a prototype, none of its example events, institutions, or source names should be treated as real reporting.
