The Problem Media bias occurs when the media systematically skews reporting in a way that crosses standards of professional journalism. Claims of media bias include claims of conservative bias, corporate bias, liberal bias, and mainstream bias. A variety of watchdog groups combat this by fact-checking both biased reporting and unfounded claims of bias, and some characterize individual news outlets by perceived bias. A variety of scholarly disciplines study media bias. Many news outlets make no pretense of being unbiased, and give their readers or listeners the news they want, leading to what has been called post-truth politics. Before the rise of professional journalism in the early 1900s and the conception of media ethics, newspapers reflected the opinions of the publisher. Frequently, an area would be served by competing newspapers taking differing and often radical views by modern standards. The media's distinct understanding of the ways of influence and decision making in government color the way journalists describe political reality. Currently, people fear the consequences of providing evidence of something happening illegal around them and those who act brave and come forward often end up facing harsh consequences. We came up with a solution and this product came into existence in the HACK IN THE NORTH'19 hackathon.
