Straight Arrow News | SAN presents a novel approach to an old problem: media bias. I find it intellectually satisfying to see how different news organizations frame the same event. This is particularly helpful for media literacy projects I assign my students. The app's interface allows you to easily compare coverage, which is pedagogically sound for understanding journalistic integrity. The 'Media Missed' section is an interesting feature, highlighting stories that didn't receive widespread attention, which is useful for well-researched design. It would be interesting to see this cross-platform, perhaps with a web interface for research purposes. The algorithm is surprisingly elegant in its presentation of diverse viewpoints, making it a valuable tool for academic discussions and research scenarios. It's a well-researched design that promotes critical thinking, and I appreciate that.
