Methodology · v3.2

News rankings hinge on cadence, so Activity (×1.0) is read closely: a channel that has stopped publishing falls regardless of past reach. Growth (×1.5) catches outlets gaining audience during major stories, and Size (×2.0) rewards established reach. Trust (×0.5) gives verified outlets a modest edge over anonymous aggregators.

FAQ

How are these news channels ordered?

Reach sets the baseline while publishing consistency and audience momentum decide rank among comparable outlets, so an active, growing channel outpaces a larger one that has gone quiet.

Do the rankings reflect any editorial bias?

They do not. Only measurable signals like reach, activity, and growth feed the score, so political stance plays no part in where a channel lands.

Can I recommend a news channel for inclusion?

Yes; send the link through the submission page and it is crawled and scored against the existing field within a sync cycle. Recommend a news channel →
