The Journalistic Evaluation Tool assigns a credibility score to any piece of online content — based on three core journalistic principles: verifiability, transparency and independence.
JET analyses the claims and citations, looks at who wrote it, who published it, and the platform where it is hosted — informing you of what you need to know based on journalistic best practices.
This includes information on proper sourcing and disclosures, funding, ownership, editorial independence, algorithmic transparency and potential conflicts of interest - and makes it visible to the user.
The result: a score and a traffic signal, based on a transparent, structured and challengeable analysis explaining exactly why that score exists.
