A lot or a little?
Parents need to know that Ground News allows readers to compare news stories across different sources and across the political spectrum. The design of the app is intended to promote greater awareness around bias in news coverage. Stories from a variety of sources ranging from the political spectrum, labeled left, lean left, center, lean right, and right, are displayed under specific headlines. In addition to the bias filter, kids can filter news based on time and location. The time filter organizes coverage in a way that allows readers to see how stories develop over time. The location filter categorizes news coverage as local, national, or international. The app includes the My News Bias feature which provides a summary of the reader's bias based on browsing trends. The summary breaks down location, news category, and news article trends. Since the app is a news feed, kids will encounter realistic violence and other mature topics.
