Hi PH- here is a link to my story and inspiration for launching Ground News Pro https://medium.com/@harleen_kaur... TLDR: Being a former NASA engineer I believe that understanding news should not be harder than rocket science. Launching Ground News Pro the worldโ€™s first news source comparison platform that will help voters make better-informed decisions, drawing from more than 40,000 news sources worldwide and featuring an average of 30,000 news stories per day. Some features that set up apart: - Compare news sources per story and see extreme versions ( that your friends and neighbours might be reading) - Sort news sources by Bias, Time and Location - Follow over 150k topics, sources, locations

@harleen_kaur @harleen Does the bias track the assumed political leanings of the publications alone or actual biased sentiment in the content of the articles - or both?

@new_user_8fe1806efe Thanks Sarah!

@matthew_brassard that's exactly we timed the release 2 weeks before the Democratic Primaries
Jack Zhang
Fantastic app!
Savannah King Norton
This is very cool, although I wouldn't say it's the first - spidr.today accomplishes something similar. Regardless, this is an impressive implementation and I'm excited to give it a shot.
Harleen Kaur
@savannah_king_norton Thanks Savannah! Yes, please do give it a shot and feedback is very welcome! I took a quick look at spidr, will check it out more after PH. One thing we really emphasize at Ground News is the bias of each news publication. Eg. this story about Iran has Iranian, Israeli, US and sources from all over the world from left and right https://app.ground.news/article/...

Great story and great work Harleen. Looking forward to seeing the growth. Let me know if I can be of help.

I've been looking for something like this for a while! It's super useful to see what different countries report on - not only to see what they talk about but also to see what they don't talk about. That's the best way to see through the propaganda and understand what each country is afraid of. For example, I remember seeing that China barely reported on the Arab Spring, and when they did it was super biased, and that says a lot about the country.

Mathieu Cornic
Really nice ! Very useful features ๐Ÿ‘Œ Iโ€™m french and did not expect titles to be translated, it was a great surprise. Letโ€™s hope that we can have the same with french news (and other countries) in the future ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Harleen Kaur
@matcornic1 Thanks Mathieu :) Glad you like the translation. We do translate the articles as well and have a lots of local sources. Pleas let us know if we can improve anything once you have had the chance to use it more.

Great product. I'm personally tired of the main stream news outlets only focusing on news stories that give them the most viewers and cause the most outrage among them. And since there is so much misinformation and bias out there in other news sources, it's hard to trust any of them. As of a result, I feel that it can seem overwhelming and people start ignoring the headlines. If we all use apps like Ground to consume and verify our news sources, we can all collectively put more pressure on the news sources to do better!
Harleen Kaur
@shadab_rashid1 thanks for this great review!
Sam Legge
Wow, i love the concept. Something that fits a real need for those on any side of the political spectrum looking to validate their perspective and bias. Cool stuff :) !
Harleen Kaur
@d0b0 thanks Sam! Our attempt is to facilitate conversations amongst people accross the political spectrum

Harleen Kaur

Susan S. Xiao
Very cool and DIFFERENT new app - absolutely love the coverage analysis feature. We often don't realize how biased some new articles can be
Harleen Kaur
@susan_s_xiao Thanks Susan! this is exactly what we are trying to achieve, make people realize that there is bias in the way news is covered.

I think this is an incredibly smart idea/product. Especially with politics seemingly becoming more and more polarizing. I think it will also help combat pandering from political news outlets (providing better and more accurate news reporting) and help people become more informed on news and/or politics.
Harleen Kaur
@company_name thanks Lynox ! Glad you like the idea and the product :)
