Where the score comes from

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

• 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.71%5 of 7
• 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.57%4 of 7
• Tells the event as something elseThe article tells the event as a different kind of story: a blockade by masked men as travel disruption, a killing as a security incident, a protest against racism as a clash between two sides.57%4 of 7
• Uses a loaded wordA word in the outlet's own voice that carries a verdict the facts in the article do not.57%4 of 7
• 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.43%3 of 7
• Drops what it reported beforeThe outlet or the reporter reported a fact or a description of the same event earlier and now leaves it out or softens it, so a reader of this article believes something the outlet's own reporting contradicts. Not repeating background totals is not this technique.29%2 of 7
• Labels people on one side's wordIn its own voice the outlet calls people who were killed, detained or attacked terrorists, militants, gunmen or rioters, and its only basis is a party's claim.29%2 of 7
• 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.29%2 of 7
• 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.29%2 of 7
• Gives a contested claim the last wordA party's claim ends a passage or the article with nothing against it, when the article itself, the coverage or the record shows it is contested.14%1 of 7
