AllSides Technologies Inc., (DBA as AllSides) is an American-based company that estimates the perceived political bias of content on online written news outlets, and then presents different versions of similar news stories from sources AllSides rates as being on the political right, left, and center, with a mission to show readers news outside their filter bubble and expose media bias. AllSides is the brainchild of John Gable who has been the company's CEO and primary owner since its first iteration.
Company
AllSides was launched to the public in September 2012.[1][2] After working as a Republican political operative[3][4] in the southern United States (including for George H. W. Bush, Mitch McConnell and the Republican National Committee)[5] John Gable worked in Silicon Valley as a manager before recruiting software developer Scott McDonald to help him launch AllSides and become his CTO.[3] In addition to bridging partisan knowledge gaps,[6][7][8] Gable hoped to expose media bias, believing unbiased journalism does not exist.[1][9][10]
AllSides staff self-report their political leanings.[11] As of 2021, AllSides made money through paid memberships, one-time donations, media literacy training and online advertisements.[11]
Rating system
AllSides focuses only on online written content (not TV, radio or podcasts).[11] It rates sources on a left-right scale that is then grouped into five categories: Left, Leans Left, Center, Leans Right, and Right, instead of a gradient which the company acknowledged sacrifices precision in favor of simplicity.[11] AllSides posts these ratings alongside the articles it posts on its site.
Reception
Jake Sheridan from Poynter Institute notes the controversy surrounding bias rating charts in general and recommends readers consider the reliability of sources in addition to possible bias.[11] In 2019, The Guardian columnist John Harris lamented that his experience using AllSides.com did not help him, as he hoped, to take the mutual loathing out of his news diet.[6]
The AllSides Media Bias Chart was featured in the 2023 educational book for kids: Breaking News: Why Media Matters.[12]Шаблон:So? It was also recommended by Natalie Proulx and Katherine Schulten's 2020 election resource guide for students as a way to break out of one's political filter bubble ahead of the 2020 election.[13] Dashka Slater includes AllSides in a list of organizations with a nonpartisan mission to encourage Americans to interact respectfully.[14]
Educational content
AllSides partnered with Living Room Conversations, a nonprofit founded by liberal entrepreneur and activist Joan Blades, on educational content through a related organization called AllSides for Schools. Gable, Blades, and their associated organizations have produced lesson plans for schools on how to navigate political conversations and helped create Mismatch, a platform to connect students who differ politically and geographically.[15][2][16]
