Information, media, and news literacy are vital skills for today’s learners.
Our Media Bias Chart has been a part of providing thousands of educators with the tools students need to recognize reliable sources and source-level bias.
Now our SUMMA News Literacy Curriculum provides a fun and engaging way for educators to teach students the methodology our own media analysts use to build the Media Bias Chart.
Through a 10-lesson course, and Content Analysis Rating Tool (CART), students learn the methodology to master news literacy, analyze media, achieve academic success, and critique media pieces.

This Interactive Media Bias Chart® is a data visualization that displays measures of news (and “news-like”) articles and sources generated by analysts and staff of Ad Fontes Media. It reflects our most up-to-date ratings of all our rated articles and shows over time.
All features of our well-known Interactive Media Bias Chart, plus…
- Access to our complete and constantly growing data set

- Use your include and exclude lists to set acceptability standards for students’ citations
