Lenshift
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.
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?
