Our Methodology
The Sesay Brief evaluates news sources using a proprietary methodology based on observable patterns in their reporting, transparency about funding, and editorial independence. Scores are updated quarterly based on ongoing monitoring of content accuracy and sourcing.
Factuality: Measures whether reporting is based on verifiable facts, proper sourcing, and accuracy of information.
Independence: Evaluates freedom from corporate, political, or ideological influence that would compromise journalistic integrity.
Transparency: Assesses whether the organization is open about its funding, ownership, and potential conflicts of interest.
Network Visualization: Connections between news sources are determined by analyzing topic overlap, citation patterns, and narrative similarity across a corpus of articles. The thickness of lines indicates the strength of the relationship between sources.
