Independent · Transparent · Reader-First
News reliability ratings, simplified.
TruthScore evaluates online news sources on a clear 0–10 scale — so readers, researchers, and platform developers can filter reliable information without the guesswork.
What TruthScore is
Cut through the noise with a number you can trust
A 0–10 scale you can read at a glance
No percentages, no opaque algorithms — just a single number that means what it says, published next to the reasoning behind it.
Independent, transparent, auditable
TruthScore has no publisher relationships and no advertising. Every rating links back to the public evidence that produced it, so researchers and readers can verify it themselves.
Built for a fast-moving news cycle
Outlets are scored daily from observed coverage. When a source slips, you see it on the News Wall — not months later in a quarterly review.
