Healing our democracy with balanced news, media bias ratings, and real conversation. AllSides exposes people to information and ideas from all sides of the political spectrum so they can better understand the world — and each other. Our media technology is available for schools, nonprofits, media companies, and more. AllSides displays the news as it is covered from a breadth of perspectives. That includes different perspectives on the same story, as well as different opinions on the day's top stories. We also seek to give context by revealing debate on the underlying issues and providing other helpful background. If you like what we do and want to help AllSides to sustain ourselves and grow, please consider becoming a sustaining member.

Allsides refrains from choosing the top stories ourselves — for the most part, we reflect the top news other media outlets are covering. For specifics on how AllSides news adheres to journalistic ethics and standards of balance and transparency, view our News Curation Principles. They adhere to a special set of standards for our news curation and original content: Here are several helpful explainers about those standards:

How To Motivate Americans’ Conversations Across Politics

Introduction

A large body of research shows that Americans hold overly negative distortions of those across the political spectrum. These misperceptions—often referred to as "Perception Gaps"—make civil discourse harder, since few Americans are eager to engage with people they believe are ideologically extreme, interpersonally hostile, or even threatening or inferior. When potential disagreement feels deeply uncomfortable or dangerous, conversations are unlikely to begin.

Correcting these distortions can help reduce barriers to productive dialogue, making Americans more open to political conversations.
