Wikipedia3 +
Wikipedia's reliability was often criticized in the 2000s but has improved over time; in the late 2010s and early 2020s, it was universally praised. Any positive mention of a source in the extract of a Wikipedia page in terms of credibility and quality gets a plus point, and vice versa.
Fact Checkers
We primarily use fact-checkers affiliated with the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN). We have linked to the International Fact-Checking Network fact-checkers' code of principles in the headline. For each failed fact-checker there is one minus point.
- There are no failed fact checks to date.
Journalism Awards
Journalism prizes are awards for excellent journalistic work in the period covered by the call for entries, which is usually one or two years. Sources receive one plus point for each journalistic award won that we track. We currently track up to three prestigious awards per country.
- There are no journalism awards won to date.
Press Council Rulings
Press councils are national institutions of media self-regulation. Press councils have their own defined press code. Reprimands are issued in the event of a violation of the press code (e.g. for truthfulness, diligence, sensationalism, separation of advertising and editorial, personal rights). For each reprimand issued by a national press council, a source receives one minus point.
- There have been no press council rulings against the source to date.
Studies
Most scientific publications, though not all, rely on some form of peer review or editorial review to qualify texts for publication. Sources mentioned in studies which rate media quality and/or reliability receive between 10 plus and 10 minus points.
- There are no evaluations of studies available to date.
Ad Fontes Media
Ad Fontes Media, Inc. is a media watchdog organization based in Colorado that is best known for its Media Bias Chart, which ranks media sources based on political bias and reliability.

Quick Glance: New York Attorney-General Calls for Invalidation of Donald Trump's $175mn Bond
- Letitia James' office argues that Donald Trump's bond is not backed by sufficient collateral or supported by an appropriately licensed firm.
- The attorney-general's office suggests that the $175mn bond, underwritten by Knight Specialty Insurance Company, should be deemed ineffective, and Trump should be given another week to secure an alternative backer.
- The attorney-general's office contends that the bond is invalid as it is supported by a company that does not possess the required qualification certificate for a valid surety in New York and that insufficient information regarding the collateral was provided.
- Trump's lawyers claimed securing a bond for the full judgment amount was 'impossible', leading the court to reduce it to $175mn. Knight underwrote the bond, yet lacks the necessary certification for a valid surety in New York.
