What is Drishti News?

Drishti News is an India-focused political news aggregation and media-literacy platform. It compares how different outlets cover the same event so users can identify bias patterns and blindspots without being told what to think.

Why This Exists

Understanding Bias Buckets

What do Left, Center, and Right mean?

LEFT

Progressive, liberal viewpoints

CENTER

Neutral, balanced reporting

RIGHT

Conservative, nationalist viewpoints

Bias labels are relative indicators based on Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) . They represent political leaning patterns, not truth or credibility judgments.

Our Methodology

How Drishti News works

Step 1

Article Aggregation

We collect political coverage from multiple Indian news outlets via RSS.

Step 2

Topic Clustering

Articles covering similar events are grouped into topics using semantic similarity.

Step 3

Bias Distribution Analysis

Each topic shows distribution across Left, Center, and Right sources.

Step 4

Blindspot & Low-Evidence Detection

We flag topics where coverage is heavily skewed or insufficient.

What is a Blindspot?

A blindspot is a significant news event that receives disproportionate coverage from one side of the political spectrum while being ignored or underreported by others.

Bias Classification Source
