AllSides presents a novel approach to an old problem: media bias. As someone involved in academic research, I find it helpful to see how the same event is framed by different news outlets. The algorithm is surprisingly elegant in its ability to curate multiple perspectives. It's particularly useful for my students, as it encourages critical thinking and media literacy. The cross-platform compatibility is a plus, allowing access on both my iPad and iPhone. The well-researched design makes it pedagogically sound for classroom discussions, and I appreciate how it helps me challenge my own preconceptions, as well.
