Balance News: Compare Sources
Bias, Sources & Blindspots
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
See who covered each story, compare how headlines frame it, and find reporting gaps without ads, tracking, or an account.
Read the news without getting trapped in one publisher's frame.
Balance News groups public reporting about the same event, shows which rated publishers are covering it, and lets you compare the headlines side by side. It is designed for readers who want more context without more noise.
YOUR DAILY EDITION
