Where the score comes from

Each technique the reading found, as a share of its articles. Tap one to read the passages.

• Leaves out what changes the pictureThe article leaves out a fact about the event it reports, which the outlet had or other outlets reported about the same event, and without it a reader believes something false about that event. Background the article is not about (overall tolls, the wider crisis) is not this technique.25%4 of 16
• Smears a named personA grave allegation against a named person or organisation (terrorism, extremism, antisemitism, fraud, violence) with nothing in the article to back it.19%3 of 16
• States one side's claim as factA party's contested claim is written in the outlet's own voice with no attribution, so the reader takes it as established.19%3 of 16
• Guilt by associationThe outlet ties a person or group to a grave third party with nothing in the article that backs the tie.13%2 of 16
• One side gets the spaceOne side's voices fill the article when the story concerns both, and the other side appears only as numbers or not at all.13%2 of 16
• Headline goes beyond the articleThe headline states what the body does not support, drops the attribution the body gives, or puts in quotation marks words nobody in the article said.6%1 of 16
• Judges a whole people on a fewA claim about a whole group rests on a handful of cases or one small study.6%1 of 16
• Makes a false claimA claim of fact that the article's own evidence, a stored source or the documented record contradicts.6%1 of 16
• Uses a loaded wordA word in the outlet's own voice that carries a verdict the facts in the article do not.6%1 of 16
• Uses figures that misleadA number presented so it misleads: the wrong base, a cherry-picked period, a share passed off as a total, or a figure the article's own source contradicts.6%1 of 16
• Vilifies a communityIn its own voice the outlet frames a community defined by who people are (ethnicity, nationality, religion, migration status, gender identity, disability, Traveller status) as a threat, a burden or criminal. A group defined by an offence or by an ideology is not a community.6%1 of 16
• Writes the death outA killing or a death is written in words that hide it: eliminated, neutralised, removed a threat, lost their lives, died for were killed, a toll with no word for killing in it.6%1 of 16
