SPKTRMview shows you how the news is being relayed across the political spectrum. Stories are curated through code — not human selection.
Each week, software reads hundreds of articles from across the spectrum, identifies the biggest stories, and verifies real coverage of the same event in each of seven columns:
Seven perspectives. One event. You compare.
An outlet is assigned to a column only when three independent media-bias raters agree — AllSides, Media Bias/Fact Check, and Ad Fontes Media. If they disagree, the outlet isn’t placed. The software cannot override the registry.
A story publishes only when the system verifies genuine, current, same-event coverage in at least five of the seven columns. Every link must be a real article from a registry outlet — not a homepage or roundup page — inside the week’s window and about the event itself. A final automated review removes anything off-topic. No quotas: some weeks that’s three stories, some weeks one.
People maintain the system and review each board before it goes live. The selection itself is the code’s — applied evenly across the spectrum. An empty column means that part of the spectrum didn’t produce verifiable coverage of the story that week.
