Newstrust.net - A Portal of Good Journalism

NewsTrust is a non-partisan, non-profit site seeking to provide citizens with the necessary tools to make informed decisions about democracy. NewsTrust’s tools allow anyone to review the news based on journalistic quality and not just popularity. The news is rated on evidence, fairness, sourcing context and other core principles of journalism. Based on member ratings, NewsTrust features a daily selection of the top rated news thereby allowing citizens to get the realistic picture everyday. As news has increasingly become a money-making business and guided by ideology, the need for a non-partisan and not-for-profit source has become even more urgent. By providing readers with the guidelines to rate the news, NewsTrust ensures that citizens themselves are able to rate the news meaning that there shouldn’t be any shortage of content.

NewsTrust.net helps people find good journalism online. Our web review tools let you rate the news based on journalistic quality, not just popularity. Based on member ratings, we feature a daily selection of top rated news and opinions on our free site. We're non-profit, non-partisan, and committed to helping citizens make informed decisions about democracy.

People need a news source that they can trust to be able to make educated decisions and thereby strengthen democracy. NewsTrust seems to have come up with the formula that will ensure that people are able to regulate the news themselves - a powerful concept.

If this site appeals especially to a certain segment of the population then their reviews would unfairly taint the process. They will have to be very careful to ensure that NewsTrust itself does not become a platform for certain segments to sway the news in their favor. Still, this is a powerful idea.
