I’m working on an idea I’m calling Lenshift, a tool designed to help users deeply analyze both online and real-world information through a collection of lenses which reveal hidden biases, funding sources, authorship details(including AI-generated content), missing facts, and propaganda techniques.

Lenshift

The goal is to provide easy-to-use tools that empower users to better understand their news sources and vet the information they consume.

Lenses

Funding
Who is paying for this news source?
Origin
Did this story originate from independent research, another news outlet, a wire service like the AP, a press release, or a paid advertisement?
Missing Facts
Are important details or perspectives left out? How does this article compare to others covering the same topic?
Bias
What are the known biases of the publication or author? Are there contextual clues that suggest propaganda or framing techniques?
Generated by AI
Are there indicators that this article or post was written by an AI?
